Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic approach widely applied in managing schizophrenia and many other mental conditions. It aims to address cognitive distortions, reduce psychotic symptoms and improve overall functioning by nurturing adaptive coping mechanisms. This article explores the role of CBT in schizophrenia, emphasizing its effectiveness in treating both positive symptoms (e.g., hallucinations, delusions) and negative symptoms (e.g., social withdrawal, apathy). Techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioural activation, and coping strategy enhancement are highlighted. The importance of CBT as a supportive mechanism along pharmacotherapy is discussed, demonstrating significant developments in patient outcomes, including symptom management, quality of life, and relapse prevention.
