Expressed emotion refers to the level of emotional involvement and criticism expressed by family members towards the individual with schizophrenia. Research has consistently found that individuals with schizophrenia are more likely to experience relapse if they have family members who are critical and overinvolved. This may be due to the added stress and negative emotions that the individual is exposed to, which can exacerbate their symptoms and increase their risk of relapse.
