Additional are needed increase capacity for pre-diction and prevention serious mental illness, ideally during childhood adolescence. One possible approach would be investigate systems in which risk factors concentrated childhood. notable such system is represented by Child Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).

Abstract Background Individuals with a psychiatric inpatient admission in adolescence have high risk of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSDs) when followed to adulthood. Whether psychotic symptoms predict subsequent SSDs cohorts, however, is an important unanswered question. Methods The sample consisted adolescents (aged 13–17) admitted care (Oulu, Finland) from April 2001 March 2006. Psychotic were assessed the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia.

Expanding clinical strategies to identify high risk groups for psychotic and bipolar disorders is a research priority. Considering that individuals diagnosed with disorder are at of self-harm, we hypothesised the reverse order relationship would also be true (ie, self-harm predict psychotic/bipolar disorder). Specifically, hospital presentation marker subsequent development sought test this hypothesis in large population sample. This prospective register-based study included everyone born...
Abstract Background and Hypothesis Recent research showed that young people who presented to hospital with self-harm in Finland had a significantly elevated risk of later psychosis. We investigated the prospective relationship between presentation for psychosis an unprecedentedly large national Swedish cohort. Study Design used inpatient outpatient healthcare registers identify all individuals born 1981 1993 were alive living Sweden on their 12th birthday one or more times self-harm....
Children who have a parent with psychotic disorder present an increased risk of developing psychosis. It is unclear to date, however, what proportion all psychosis cases in the population are captured by familial high‐risk for (FHR‐P) approach. This essential information prevention research and health service planning, as it tells us total that this approach would prevent if effective intervention were developed. Through prospective cohort study including individuals born Finland between...
Background Community studies have found a relatively high prevalence of hallucinations, which are associated with range (psychotic and non-psychotic) mental disorders, as well suicidal ideation behaviour. The literature on hallucinations in the general population has largely focused adolescents young adults. Aims We aimed to explore psychopathologic significance across adult lifespan. Method Using 1993, 2000, 2007 2014 cross-sectional Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey series ( N = 33 637),...
Abstract Background: Psychotic disorders develop gradually along a continuum of severity. Understanding factors associated with psychosis development, such as sleep, could aid in identification individuals at elevated risk. This study aimed to assess (1) the dynamic relationship between psychotic experiences (PEs) and sleep quality quantity, (2) whether this differed different clinical stages continuum. Methods: We used daily diary data (90 days) ( N = 96) early (i.e. before first diagnosis...
Valid measurement of group differences in self-reported psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) requires knowing any group-specific properties the instruments. We investigated invariance 21-item Prodromal Questionnaire–Brief (PQ-B) questionnaire across gender, ethnic minority/majority status, and presence depressive symptoms two different US non-clinical undergraduate samples ( N = 1,099). For each item, endorsement experience associated distress were combined for analysis. A unidimensional model...
Psychosis-Like Experiences (PLEs) and depressive symptoms are correlated in clinical adolescent populations. However, symptom-level associations between the two phenomena not clear.We analysed factor structures of a PLE instrument, Prodromal Questionnaire-Brief (PQ-B), based on dimensions positive schizophrenia, depression measurement Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-21A) performed network analysis item-level measures. The sample consisted 417 adolescents (range 13-18 years age, mean 14.9...
Background Psychotic Like Experiences (PLEs), suicidal ideation, and depressive symptoms are related common in adolescents treated psychiatric services. However, more granular analysis of the associations between two types is sparse. This study aims to investigate self-reported PLEs on a sub-scale item level, among attending secondary level care.
