The experimental group received music and ideology and politics curriculum reform based on sound personality cultivation; the control group received traditional music and ideology and politics curriculum education. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were used to assess before treatment, after treatment and during the follow-up period, respectively, and the data were analyzed by using SPSS23.0.

Deficit schizophrenia, though uncommon among college students, can exhibit symptoms of delayed thinking and cognitive impairment. Prolonged use of traditional medications can lead to tolerance. This study investigates the synergy of reformed ideological and political education in higher education with Paliperidone to offer comprehensive intervention for college students with deficit schizophrenia. Subjects and Methods A study was conducted on 85 college students with defective schizophrenia at a certain university. They were divided into Group C and Group D. Group C received a single treatment with Paliperidone, while Group B received combined treatment with reformed ideological and political education and teaching in universities. The treatment lasted for 3 months, and after treatment, SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis, and the Mental Classification Cognitive Test Scale was used to quantify the mental status of college students. Results Post-treatment, positive symptoms in Group D reduced to 15.46 ± 1.53 points, negative symptoms dropped to 15.61 ± 3.51 points, and general psychiatric symptoms decreased to 15.12 ± 1.21 points.
