This chart compares the effect of three factors on relapse rates, which is dfined as readmission to a hospital for psychosis It's acomposite of many studies, I forget how many now, and it shows the range of the studies. With medication and adequate psychosocial intervention the range of relapse over a 1-2 year period, depending on the study, is 0% -20% In my case it has been 0% and I'm very grateful for that.
