This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether recreational fishing — a calming outdoor activity — can help people with schizophrenia feel better as an addition to their regular treatment. Researchers will compare people who go fishing regularly alongside their normal care to people who only receive standard treatment. The study will measure whether fishing affects mood, anxiety, depression, blood work results, and overall quality of life.
Schizophrenia often causes people to withdraw from others, lose interest in activities, and struggle with concentration and mood. Research shows that spending time in nature and doing mindful activities like fishing can reduce stress and improve emotional well-being — so this study wants to see if adding fishing to standard care could help people with schizophrenia live better lives.

If you join this study, you will either be assigned to a group that participates in a structured recreational fishing program along with your regular treatment, or to a group that continues with standard treatment alone. Researchers will measure your anxiety, depression, mood, blood work, and how you're feeling overall at different points during the study. The fishing program is designed to be relaxing and is meant to complement — not replace — your regular medical care.
