Abstract:
This article aims to: (1) describe the evolution of first episode of psychosis (FEP) approaches; (2) define a model of multidisciplinary care; (3) identify challenges and limitations; (4) discuss the unique challenges for those first experiencing psychosis; (5) identify strategies to expand early psychosis interventions. The authors take the medical standpoint and use the differential diagnosis and initial medical work-up as a context for assessment. The remainder of the article will be focused on treatment of FEP in those with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders.
