Summary
This study tested whether adding structured supportive psychotherapy to the antipsychotic risperidone helps improve cognitive function and reduce inflammation in people with schizophrenia. Forty-six men with early-stage schizophrenia took part. Half received risperidone plus 12 sessions of talk therapy over 6 weeks, while the other half received risperidone alone. The study measured changes in thinking skills and a blood marker of inflammation (hs-CRP).
