First-episode psychosis: Part 1 – assessment, diagnosis and rationale
Provided by Royal College of Psychiatrists
About the course
Over the last 15 years there has been an increase in the number of clinical services specifically for first-episode psychosis (FEP), notably early intervention in psychosis (EIP) teams. However, people are often unclear about why specific attention has been focused on FEP.
This first module in a series of two will:
- describe the features of first-episode psychosis,
- discuss the rationale for the early intervention approach in treating FEP,
- explain the concepts of the psychosis prodrome and the at-risk mental state (ARMS),
- provide specific assessment approaches for those experiencing FEP.
