Research has demonstrated that resilience impacts functional outcomes and is often reduced among those with prolonged psychosis. However, little work has examined when during the course of psychosis resilience declines and whether resilience impacts symptoms and functioning similarly in different illness phases. This study examined whether overall resilience (a) differed between those with early compared to relatively prolonged psychosis, (b) differed between the psychosis groups and nonclinical controls, and (c) differentially related to symptoms and functioning in the psychosis groups.
