  • Title: The relationships among insight, social support, and depression in psychosis.
    Author: Kaiser SL, Snyder JA, Corcoran R, Drake RJ.
    Journal: J Nerv Ment Dis; 2006 Dec; 194(12):905-8. PubMed ID: 17164628.
    Abstract:
    We assessed the role of satisfaction with social support as a mediating factor in the relationship between insight and depression in psychosis. Forty inpatients with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders self-completed measures of insight, social support, and depression. Results showed a curvilinear relationship between insight and satisfaction with support: those with high and low insight tended to have higher satisfaction with support than those with moderate insight. Satisfaction also had a negative relationship with depression. We found no direct relationship between insight and depression. This was consistent with satisfaction with social support mediating the relationship between global insight and depression.
