Abstract

Research on consumer-defined recovery from mental illness has been criticised for a lack of quantitative analyses and conceptual clarity. This study aims to address this by statistically testing the possible associations between a major model of the stages of recovery and five postulated processes that have been theorised to drive recovery. Eighty-eight participants, who attended psychological consultation for depression at the National Healthcare Group Polyclinics, were recruited. Questionnaires on recovery stages and the five recovery processes were directly administered, while the measure for depressive symptoms were extracted from case file data. Results showed that the five recovery processes were associated with the recovery stages in a manner that supported this recovery model for patients with depression in primary care. However, most of these associations became nonsignificant when the severity of depression was controlled for. Thus, further research is needed to precisely identify the impact of the severity of depression on the patients’ experience of their recovery journeys.
