Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is characterised by three symptom domains and affects ~1% of global population. First and mostly known are the positive symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, secondly are negative symptoms like reduced emotion and lack of motivation and the third symptom domain is cognitive symptoms like a poor memory or disorganised thinking. While there are already many drugs for treating positive symptoms, there is a significant unmet medical need for effective treatments for negative and cognitive symptoms.
