Objective: Early detection in first-episode psychosis confers advantages for negative, cognitive, and depressive symptoms after 1, 2, 5 years, but longitudinal effects are unknown. The authors investigated the differences recovery 10 years between regional health care sectors with without a comprehensive program early of psychosis. Method: evaluated 281 patients (early detection, N=141) 18 to 65 old first episode nonaffective 1997 2001. Of these, 101 early-detection area 73 usual-detection...
A substantial proportion of schizophrenia-spectrum patients exhibit a cognitive impairment at illness onset. However, the long-term course neurocognition and possible neurotoxic effect time spent in active psychosis, is topic controversy. Furthermore, it importance to find out what predicts neurocognition. Duration untreated psychosis (DUP), accumulated first year after start treatment, relapse rates symptoms are potential predictors course. In this study, 261 first-episode were assessed...
Background: Social functioning is an important treatment outcome for psychosis, and yet, we know little about its relationship to trauma despite high rates of in people with psychosis. Childhood likely disrupt the acquisition interpersonal relatedness skills including desire affiliation thus lead impaired social adulthood. Aims: We hypothesized that childhood would be a predictor poor adults psychosis further adulthood moderate this relationship. Method: A first-episode sample aged 15–65...
Substance use is common in first-episode psychosis (FEP) and has been linked to poorer outcomes with more severe psychopathology higher relapse rates. Early substance discontinuation appears improve symptoms function. However, studies vary widely their methodology, few have examined patients longitudinally, making it difficult draw conclusions for practice treatment. We aimed investigate the relationship between early abstinence long-term course of illness a representative sample FEP...
Objective: Neurocognitive impairment is commonly reported at onset of psychotic disorders. However, the long-term neurocognitive course remains largely uninvestigated in first episode psychosis (FEP) and relationship to clinically significant subgroups even more so. We report 10 year longitudinal development a sample FEP patients, explore whether trajectories cognitive are related presence relapse psychosis, especially within year, with focus on verbal memory. Method: Forty-three subjects...
Objective: Identifying patients at risk of poor outcome an early stage illness can aid in treatment planning. This study sought to create a best-fit statistical model known baseline and early-course factors predict time psychosis during ten-year follow-up period after first psychotic episode. Methods: Between 1997 2000, 301 with DSM-IV nonorganic, nonaffective first-episode were recruited consecutively from catchment area–based sectors Norway Denmark. Specialized mental health personnel...
Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and substance use may have an earlier onset of illness compared to those without use. Most previous studies have, however, too small samples control for confounding variables the effect specific types substances. The present study aimed examine relationship between age at onset, in addition influence possible confounders substances, a large heterogeneous multisite sample patients disorders.The (N=1119) were recruited from catchment areas Oslo,...
Individuals at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis (CHR-P) demonstrate heterogeneity in clinical profiles and outcome features. However, the extent of neuroanatomical CHR-P state is largely undetermined. We aimed to quantify structural magnetic resonance imaging measures cortical surface area (SA), thickness (CT), subcortical volume (SV), intracranial (ICV) individuals compared with healthy controls (HC), relation subsequent transition a first episode psychosis. The ENIGMA consortium applied...
Abstract Aims The present study examined if any patient characteristics at baseline predicted depressive symptoms 10 years and whether patients prone to in the first year of treatment had a different prognosis following years. Method A total 299 first‐episode psychosis ( FEP ) with schizophrenia spectrum disorders were assessed for PANSS depression item (g6) baseline, 1, 2, 5 follow up. At years, also C algary D epression Scale S chizophrenia (CDSS). g6 ≥ 4 CDSS score 6 used as cut‐off...
Abstract Introduction The COVID‐19 pandemic affects people globally, but it may affect with psychotic and bipolar disorders disproportionally. Our aims were to investigate the impact on perceived wellbeing mental health in this population, including which pandemic‐related factors have had an impact. Methods People ( N = 520; female 81%; n 75/bipolar disorder 445) completed online survey about early phase of (June 5–July 5, 2020). Results Many participants experienced deteriorated after...
Abstract Background Qualitative research frequently characterises recovery, but more knowledge on subjective experiences of facilitators long-term recovery in psychosis is needed. This interview study aimed to explore what people with first-episode (FEP) highlight as important for their recovery. Methods Interviews 20 individuals (personal and/or clinical) participating two follow-up studies, 10 and 20-years after treatment start a first episode schizophrenia or bipolar spectrum disorder....
Background Hallucinations are a core diagnostic criterion for psychotic disorders and have been investigated with regard to its association childhood trauma in first-episode psychosis samples. Research has largely focused on auditory hallucinations, while specific investigations of visual hallucinations remain scarce. Objectives The aims this study were describe the prevalence explore between hallucination sample. Methods Subjects included from TIPS-2, first episode south Rogaland, Norway....
Substance misuse is a well-recognized co-morbidity to psychosis and has been linked poor prognostic outcomes in patients. Researchers have yet investigate the difference rates characteristics between first-episode Induced Psychosis (SIP) primary psychosis. We aimed at comparing patients with SIP or without substance baseline. Thirty patients, 45 (PS) 66 (PNS) well-defined Norwegian catchment area were included from 2007–2011. Assessments symptom levels (PANSS), diagnostic interviews (SCID),...
