This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether combining two treatments—water aerobics (exercise in a swimming pool) and Metacognitive Training (a therapy program based on cognitive-behavioral techniques)—works better together than either treatment alone for people diagnosed with psychosis. Researchers will measure how these treatments affect your symptoms, thinking skills, mood, and overall wellbeing, and will also look at specific biological markers in your blood to understand how the treatments work.
Many people with psychosis benefit from either exercise or cognitive therapy alone, but doctors don't yet know whether combining the two might help patients more. This trial aims to find out whether the combination offers greater benefits than either treatment by itself.

You would be randomly assigned to one of three groups: water aerobics alone, cognitive training alone, or a combination of both. Over the course of the study, you would attend regular sessions—either in the pool for exercise, in a therapy setting for cognitive training, or both—while researchers track changes in your symptoms, thinking abilities, mood, and physical fitness. You would also provide blood samples at the beginning and end to measure specific biological markers related to your condition.
