Anxiety and affective symptoms are prominent features of schizophrenia which are often present in the prodromal phase of the illness and preceding psychotic relapses. A number of studies suggest that genetic risk for the disorder may be associated with increased anxiety long before the onset of psychotic symptoms. Targeting anxiety symptoms may represent an important strategy for primary and secondary prevention in schizophrenia.
焦虑和情感症状是精神分裂症的突出特征，这些症状通常出现在疾病的前驱期和精神病复发之前。许多研究表明，该疾病的遗传风险可能与精神病症状出现之前的焦虑增加有关。针对焦虑症状可能是精神分裂症一级和二级预防的重要策略。
