Understanding and effectively treating cognitive and functioning impairments in youth with psychosis and other mental disorders

思维能力受损，如记忆力、注意力和解决问题的能力受损，在精神病和其他精神障碍的早期就会出现，这对工作和其他日常活动的功能有负面影响。目前的治疗方法在解决这个问题上不是很有效。本奖学金提出的研究将提高对这些障碍的认识，并开发和测试一系列干预措施，以治疗思维技能困难，改善青少年精神疾病的日常功能。

Impaired thinking skills, such as memory, concentration and problem solving, emerge early in psychotic and other mental disorders, which has a negative impact on functioning in work and other daily activities. Current treatments are not very effective at addressing this. The research proposed in this fellowship will improve knowledge about these impairments and develop and test a range of interventions that treat thinking skill difficulties and improve daily functioning in youth mental illness.
