Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia is a severely debilitating disease caused by a wide variety of environmental and genetic variables. More studies are needed to understand social cognition and Quality of Life (QoL), particularly in countries like India where insanity is still largely forbid-den and surrounded by stigma. Aim: To understand the social cognition and Quality of life in patients with schizophrenia in India. Methodology: PRISMA guidelines were followed for identification of studies. Scopus and web of Science databases were used for searching relevant articles. To complete the task, a total of 34 papers were evaluated. Results: The primary goal of this systematic review was to compile the findings of various studies conducted on different variables influencing patients’ well-being and the treatment methods accessible for SZ patients in India. Conclusion: Schizophrenia is characterized by psychosis, which is also observed in many of the medical issues. As a result, the goal of this comprehensive analysis was to bring together re-search on social cognition and Quality of life in the Indian context.
