- Study examines symptom network dynamics in first-episode psychosis patients undergoing antipsychotic treatment.
- Baseline symptom networks did not differ between remitters and non-remitters.
- Temporal symptom networks showed significant differences between remitters and non-remitters in symptom connections and strengths.
- Key symptoms identified varied between remitters and non-remitters.
- No robust symptom-specific medication effects were found between amisulpride and olanzapine.
- Temporal symptom dynamics, rather than baseline relationships, differentiate treatment response trajectories.
- Findings suggest generic treatment mechanisms rather than antipsychotic-specific effects.
