Summary

This study looks at how people with a first episode of psychosis tell their life stories and whether that relates to their well-being and recovery. Researchers will compare 96 participants—those with early psychosis, those with chronic psychosis, and healthy controls—using questionnaires and interviews. No treatment or drug is involved; the goal is simply to understand the link between narrative identity and mental health.
