Factors shaping the decision-making process to continue or discontinue antipsychotics: exploratory qualitative study of 12 individuals in remission from first-episode psychosis
The decision-making process is driven by motivators that were found to be linked to the concept of personal recovery. This study highlights the need for proactive, personalised discussions between clinicians and patients. Future research should focus on decision aids tailored to the FEP population to support SDM and improve treatment outcomes.
