Abstract

Introduction. Negative disorders are considered key components in the clinical presentation of schizophrenia and remain understudied in terms of their diagnosis, classification, and treatment. This review of studies conducted in Kazakhstan addresses these issues.
This study aimed to analyze and summarize historical and current understanding of negative disorders in the clinical presentation of schizophrenia, as well as approaches to their treatment in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Materials and Methods. This retrospective review included publications by Kazakhstani authors on negative symptoms in schizophrenia over the past 50 years, as well as Russian dissertations, articles in scientific journals, textbooks, and international guidelines (NIMH MATRICS, EPA, EMA).
Results. The scientific research on schizophrenia in Kazakhstan began in the 1970s. Although those studies focused primarily on positive (psychotic) disorders in schizophrenia, the authors also partially described negative symptoms. This review highlights the clinical characteristics of negative symptoms and reflects the evolving views on their clinical manifestations in schizophrenia, their diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic strategies. Particular attention is paid to the differential diagnosis of primary and secondary negative symptoms.
Discussion of Results and Conclusions. Until recently, scientific papers in Kazakhstan used outdated classification approaches that did not meet international standards. In recent years, Kazakhstan has been implementing modern diagnostic criteria and evidence-based treatment methods. In particular, the antipsychotic cariprazine has demonstrated high efficacy in the treatment of negative symptoms, which holds promise for its further widespread clinical use. The high clinical significance of introducing new treatment methods for negative disorders to improve social functioning and quality of life in patients with schizophrenia is noted.
