Prediction of remission and recovery in young people presenting with first-episode psychosis in Hong Kong: A 3-year follow-up study

Abstract

In a large representative cohort of Chinese young people presenting with first-episode psychosis, although more than half achieved symptomatic remission 3 years after service entry, the rates of functional remission and recovery were low. More intensive psychosocial interventions may be required to further improve patients' functional outcome.
