Negative symptoms, in the context of mental health, refer to
deficits or reductions in normal emotional and behavioral functioning. These
symptoms are often associated with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.
Common negative symptoms include diminished motivation, reduced emotional
expressiveness (blunted affect), social withdrawal, and anhedonia (a decreased
ability to experience pleasure).
Addressing negative symptoms typically involves a comprehensive
treatment approach, including antipsychotic medications, psychosocial
interventions, and rehabilitation efforts to enhance daily living skills.
Recognizing and addressing these symptoms early is crucial for optimizing
treatment outcomes and improving the individual's quality of life.
