Schizophrenia Recovery: What Does Recovery Mean?

· 1 min read

Recovery is a personal journey. It does not necessarily mean that every symptom disappears. It can also mean developing greater stability, improving functioning and working toward personal goals.

What recovery may include

  • Better symptom management
  • Improved relationships
  • Returning to education
  • Returning to work
  • Greater independence
  • Better daily functioning
  • Improved quality of life

What supports recovery

Following an agreed treatment plan, keeping a healthy routine, staying connected with supportive people and working toward personal goals can all help.

Recovery takes time

Progress may happen gradually, and setbacks can occur. A personalised treatment plan can be reviewed as goals and needs change.
