Insight in early psychosis: a 1-year follow-up.
Insight was investigated in 180 individuals consecutively admitted to a comprehensive early psychosis treatment program. Insight was assessed on admission and after 3, 6 and 12 months. Insight improved significantly over 12 months, and was negatively correlated with both positive and negative symptoms, and positively correlated with depressive symptoms at admission. There were no associations with cognition.
