Schizophrenia often develops during adolescence or early adulthood. Neurocognitive deficits frequently occur before or during the first psychotic episode and are closely associated with poorer functional outcomes. However, the effects of antipsychotic treatment on neurocognitive function in treatment-naive patients with first-episode schizophrenia have not yet been fully elucidated.
