Schizophrenia: recent data, future perspectives

Abstract

Schizophrenia is one of the most incapacitating mental disorders. During the last years, new findings have been done in the physiopathology of the disorder such as the influence of inflammation, glial changes, neural oscillations and alterations in the gabaergic interneurons. Furthermore, new conceptualizations have led to research of new therapeutics both biological and
psychotherapeutic. The perspectives of the diagnostic refinement and the new therapeutics allow us to be optimistic and imagine the possibility in the future when individuals with schizophrenia could fully integrate to the society.
