Foresight in Sight (original) (raw)

Research in clinical psychiatry often emphasizes the importance of insight into psychotic disorders, but lacks attention to foresight—the ability to anticipate and plan for future events. This paper discusses the role of foresight in individuals with severe mental illnesses, particularly schizophrenia, highlighting that impaired foresight may affect socio-occupational functioning. Findings suggest that cognitive deficits related to foresight are not directly correlated with psychopathology severity, yet are significant predictors of functional outcomes, indicating a critical area for further research and intervention.
