Summary
Early onset psychosis (EOP) affects young individuals, requiring comprehensive support for recovery. Improved mental healthcare organization is crucial for these patients.
Area of Science:
- Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
- Psychosis Studies
Context:

- Adolescent and adult mental healthcare are often separated, complicating care for EOP patients.
Purpose:
- To characterize patients with EOP.
- To describe their functioning, healthcare, education, employment, living situation, and well-being post-psychosis onset.
Summary:
- Most EOP patients present severe symptoms before age 16, necessitating intensive treatment and often involving multiple risk factors.
- Following inpatient care, many received special needs education and transitioned to adult psychiatric services, with parents as primary social support.
Impact:
- Findings highlight the need for integrated support across life domains during EOP recovery.
- Improving the organization of mental healthcare and assistance is essential for adequate patient care.
