AbstractThe recent literature on schizophrenia generally points to a better outcome and a more benign metamorphosis in the schizophrenic illness process. It is reported that a study on the cross-sectional outcome of 153 actively follow-up schizophrenic patients in Hong Kong. Apart from their more favourable symptomatic outcome, other outcome indicators relating to social relationship, quality of life, and work adjustment can hardly be labelled as benign.
