Yes, it is possible to become more insightful once you understand that you are ill. But it’s not a guarantee. Some people lose insight completely during all episodes, others preserve some.

For me, the first episode was the worst and longest. Later I learned to doubt my own assumptions and convictions until confirmed with other people.

In the 2nd episode I still heard voices a lot, but they didn’t make me do crazy sh1t, and I didn’t believe what voices told me.

In the 3rd episode I had religious paranoid thoughts. But I still behaved and talked almost normally, and I knew it could be a delusion.
