Treatment options include medication and verbal psychotherapy, but these can have limited effects in the most affected patients. Sport therapy may provide a mean of improving mental health among people with schizophrenia.

SUBJECTS AND METHODSThe study was conducted in AL RASHAD hospital in the city of BAGHADAD for 6 month. It is a single blind randomized controlled trial. 100 male patients between the age of 18-59 years with a diagnosis of schizophrenia according to DSM-5 criteria for at least 2 years duration prior to the beginning of the study were included. RESULTS The total PANSS scores for the study group were significantly lower than those for the controls group, comparisons also showed that sport therapy affords significant advantages on general psychosocial functioning CONCLUSION AND RECOMENDATION Sport participation may result in reduced psychiatric symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, less relapse and less consuming of different antipsychotic medications. | ||
