Overview
Brief Summary
Schizophrenia is a disease of young adults that affects 1% of the general population. According to numerous studies, it has been estimated that between 50% and 80% of patients with schizophrenia do not consider to have a mental disorder and are therefore not aware of their disorders. A poor degree of insight is associated with poor compliance, a higher number of re-hospitalizations, altered social and relational functioning, and a higher number of suicides and violent behaviors. This is why insight, which is an essential dimension of psychopathology, must be evaluated, as it depends to a large extent on the therapeutic alliance, adherence to treatment, likelihood of relapse and prognosis.
Detailed Description
Evaluation (test, re-test) This new tool for assessing insight will allow for a discrepancy in assessment and a more refined assessment with a view to developing specific care for the patient and / or the relative with regard to the three dimensions Evaluated: disease, treatment and functional implications

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Concurrent validity of the hetero-evaluation scale by studying its correlation with the results obtained, for the same persons, on the SUMD scale (Scale to Assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder)
Time Frame: two years
Correlation higher than 0.40 in the Bravais-Pearson test between the caregiver's hetero-evaluation scale and the Scale to Assess Understanding of Mental Disorder (SUMD)
Secondary Outcomes
