The transition between adolescence and adulthood (generally defined as ages 18 to 25) is a key developmental window for narrative identity and psychotic disorders. Narrative identity is positively associated with mental health. This study will focus on the acquisition of narrative identity in First Episode Psychosis (FEP) and its impact on multidimensional subjective well-being.
The study authors hypothesize that levels of the various components of narrative identity would be lower in the FEP group than in the "chronic" and control groups, and in the "chronic" group versus control group. Given the paucity contradictory nature of the published literature, no hypotheses have been formulated regarding these correlations and predictions. Instead, this study will remain an exploratory analysis in the different samples.

| Narrative identity between groups according to life history task | Narrative identity calculated from five narratives scored by the clinician considering agency, communion, redemption/contamination, affective tone, exploratory processing, growth, construction of meaning, elaboration of facts and interpretations, affective tone, ending valence, temporal/causal/thematic coherence and overall coherence. | Day 0 |

| Multidimensional subjective well-being between groups | PERMA-Profiler score. A 15-item questionnaire measured on 11-item Likert scales. Higher scores indicate greater well-being. An overall well-being score is calculated by creating an average score for each item, and subscale scores are calculated by averaging the three items in each subscale | Day 0 |

The total score ranges from 30 to 210. | Day 0 |
| Personal recovery between FEP and chronic groups | Stage of Recovery Instrument (STORI). Ten themes are evaluated, each comprising five items ranging from 0 "Not at all true" to 5 "Quite true", corresponding to the five stages of personal recovery. A score is calculated for each stage, ranging from 0 to 50, and the participant is assigned to the stage with the highest score. | Day 0 |

| Patient functioning between groups | Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). Scores range from 0-100, whereby lower scores represent lower functioning | Day 0 |
| Anxiety and depression between groups | Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). A 14-item questionnaire of which 7 assess depression and 7 anxiety. The sum of the item scores for each subscale produces an anxiety score and/or a depression score | Day 0 |
