    • Social network structure and function are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the social networks of first-admission and multiple-admission schizophrenia patients.
    • To identify critical changes in social networks following initial hospitalization.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of social network structure and function.
    • Assessment of network size, interconnectedness, link types (multiplex, nondependent).

    Main Results:

  • Their networks contain a higher proportion of multiplex and nondependent links.
  • Significant network changes occur after the first hospitalization.

    • Conclusions:

    • Schizophrenia represents a network crisis for both the individual and their social circle.
    • Network dissolution is linked to patient's social competence and others' reactions.
    • Early intervention during the first psychotic episode is recommended to prevent network collapse and social isolation.
