Factors associated with QoL in FEP
depressive, cognitive functioning, depressive symptoms
Consistent with previous research on QoL in FEP recovery [Although depressive symptoms emerged as the strongest predictor of the QoL subgroups, the relationship between depressive symptoms and QoL subgroups may be inflated due to measurement overlap [No cognitive measures were associated with the QoL subgroups at follow-up (before and after the psychological domain was removed), suggesting that cognitive functioning at baseline does not explain variation in QoL at a later stage of the recovery phase. Whilst speculative, early intervention may play a role in subduing the predictive ability of cognitive functioning at baseline. Amoretti et al. [In support of previous findings, social inclusion at follow-up predicted subgroup membership before and after the psychological items were removed [
