Abstract:
Difficulties in early detection of schizophrenic psychosis are two-fold: the non-specificity of the prodromal symptoms and the skepticism to or the rejection of the medical treatment by the patient. In this paper we focus on the central role of the GP. Due to the long-lasting trustful relationship with the patient's family he is able to establish a contact to the patient. Questions for the assessment of the most mentioned prodromal symptoms (behaviour, affectivity, cognition) are indicated. Further steps in the evaluation as well as differential diagnoses are pointed out. Finally, the importance of early detection of psychosis and the GP's role herein is shown.
