Abstract
Conclusions: Insight, at least in this stable, comparatively high-insight sample, improved during treatment but this is not closely related to improvement in psychotic symptoms. Insight appears to have trait-like qualities demonstrated by association with premorbid factors. While insight is generally a favorable attribute and is associated with fewer psychotic symptoms, it is also associated with increased depression and lower perceived quality of life. Some components of insight are more amenable to improvement; particularly the ability to adopt less fixed illness attributions.
