6. Conclusion
In summary, our findings show that UHR individuals have impaired coping styles, but no significant change in self-esteem in UHR individuals who were not clinically help seeking, which adds to our knowledge on psychological profiles of the individuals at several points of the schizophrenia continuum. Future longitudinal studies will be required to fully understand the relationship between these two variables and the onset of schizophrenia in at-risk populations. Furthermore, more research on the interaction between coping styles and self-esteem is needed to better understand the effects of coping styles and self-esteem on transformation of the Ultra high-risk population, guiding interventional approaches to reduce disease incidence in UHR populations.
