Abstract:
Background: The late 20th century witnessed a resurgence of interest in schizophrenia, driven in part by the recognition of functional deficits contributing to disability and indirect costs of the illness. Despite its significance, frontal lobe evaluation is often overlooked in routine neurologic examinations due to the detailed attention and rigorous testing required. Frontal lobe dysfunction, or frontal systems impairment, can lead to specific clinical syndromes, emphasizing its importance in understanding schizophrenia. Objective: This study aimed to compare the manifestations of schizophrenia and frontal lobe impairment as assessed by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Method: Thirty male schizophrenic patients aged 18 to 35 years were selected from Gajra Raja Medical College, Gwalior, using purposive sampling, and diagnosed according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Research (DCR), ICD-10. Thirty normal controls were similarly selected from various localities in Gwalior. The PANSS was utilized for assessment. Findings: The study found no significant differences between schizophrenic and frontal lobe impaired groups on the Negative Syndrome Scale. However, scores on the general psychopathology scale were significantly lower in the Schizophrenic Group compared to the Frontal Lobe Impaired Group.
