Cognition is a non-specific term; impaired cognitive performance may have diverse causes (= pseudo continuous); 2. Although schizophrenia may be within the family of ‘cognitive disorders’ this does not help with identifying it as a diagnostic entity; 3. Issues may exist in identifying the right target population to treat.

Psychosis as a phenomenon is common in the general population; 2. However, the underlying causes of psychotic experiences are diverse (see example dementia); 3. Hence, the efficacy of a drug against a symptom / symptom cluster in a specific diagnostic category cannot be extrapolated to another diagnostic category without proof.
