Background:
The worldwide established early detection and prevention centers for psychosis follow the modern program of predictive, preventive and personalized medicine.
Objectives:
If primary prevention is to succeed, the individual risk of the disease has to be estimated correctly and the psychosis onset has to be accurately predicted. Accordingly, this article presents the current possibilities for prediction.
Materials And Methods:
An overview on the recent prediction analyses in clinical high risk for psychosis research is provided.
Results:
The previously identified high-risk criteria achieve a considerable predictive power, which can be further enhanced by their combined use as well as other strategies of risk enrichment and risk stratification.
Conclusions:
Clinical prediction already allows risk-adapted prevention measures and is currently being enhanced even further by additional biological brain diagnostics.
