Social cognition is critically impaired in individuals with schizophrenia, affecting various domains such as emotion perception and theory of mind. These impairments are strongly linked to poor functional outcomes and act as mediators between neurocognition and daily functioning. Interventions targeting social cognition, including both broad-based and targeted approaches, have shown promise in improving social cognitive skills and overall social functioning. Understanding and addressing these deficits through effective interventions can significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals with schizophrenia.
