Summary
This study tests whether adding a new recovery-focused psychotherapy program (RECOVERYTRSGR or RECOVERYTRSBDGR) to standard medication can improve thinking, symptoms, and daily function in people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. About 84 adults aged 18–65 will take part. The program involves up to 190 therapy sessions, and researchers will measure changes in memory, problem-solving, mood, and overall recovery.
