Improvement is represented by increases in value for reintegration, self‐esteem, and quality of life and decreases in depressive symptoms and stigma. At each time point, the values presented reflect the difference between those currently reporting symptoms vs. those reporting no symptoms. Psychosocial measures are standardised to range 0–100.
