This is the first systematic review exploring patients' subjective experiences of clozapine for TRS. Findings suggest that patients generally have a favorable experience when being treated with clozapine. However, conclusions are limited by the risk of bias, particularly survivorship bias. High-quality longitudinal studies exploring patients' experiences of clozapine are indicated for the future.
