Functional remission in schizophrenia: a FROGS-based definition and its convergent validity

Schizophrenia has large functional impact, as only 17.1% of patients treated for the first time are able to achieve recovery of symptoms, functioning and subjective wellbeing after three years (Lambert  et al., 2008). Functional remission more precisely concerns only a third of treated patients who developed symptomatic remission (Bobes et al., 2009; Lambert et al., 2006; San et al., 2007; Wunderink et al., 2009).
