Abstract: SUMMARY This article discusses the importance of personal recovery in psychiatry and proposes a new socially constitutive process. The author, an expert by experience, emphasises that recovery is not only an individual endeavour but also an intersubjective one. Moreover, social relationships and external factors such as community, family, health service culture and social norms influence the recovery process. The socially constitutive process posits that support from professionals and family members is crucial, significantly reducing the burden of responsibility carried by individuals with mental illness.
