Remission and recovery from first-episode psychosis in adults: systematic review and meta-analysis of long-term outcome studies [Review articles]

Conclusions
Remission and recovery rates in FEP may be more favourable than previously thought. We observed stability of recovery rates after the first 2 years, suggesting that a progressive deteriorating course of illness is not typical. Although remission rates have improved over time recovery rates have not, raising questions about the effectiveness of services in achieving improved recovery.
