It is defined as a deeply personal, unique process of living a satisfying life even with the limitations caused by the illness. Neurocognitive impairments are a core feature of psychotic disorders and proven to be a key determinant of functional outcomes, such as daily- and social functioning, work and independent living. However, the relationship with personal recovery remains unclear. Few studies investigated the relationship, and the findings remains inconclusive. This study explores the relationship between neurocognition and personal recovery, both cross-sectionally and over a year time.<h4>Method</h4>Data from baseline and T1 (one year later) was used from the UP's cohoSchizophrenia research.
