Devenir professionnel de sujets souffrant de schizophrénie dans les deux ans suivant l'obtention du statut adulte handicapé

This prospective study demonstrates that half of persons with schizophrenia who benefit from the disabled status remain actively engaged in vocational rehabilitation. Hence, giving access to disability status does not act as a disincentive regarding the return or access to work. However, the benefit of being kept involved in vocational rehabilitation has to be weighted against the fact that most patients only obtained low-qualified jobs of short-duration. This precarious situation may be stressful and may have a deleterious impact regarding self-esteem.
