چکیده

Dr Duggal reports that his patient showed a reduction of 54% in symptom severity as indexed by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). His baseline score when unmedicated was 129 and varied from 83 to 102 with medication; when medication was combined with CBT, his PANSS score was 59.
