Background:
Early detection and intervention in schizophrenic disorders is an important challenge for psychiatry.
Method:
Review of literature on effective biomedical and psychosocial intervention strategies.
Results:
Comprehensive programmes of drug and psychosocial interventions with adults who show early signs and symptoms of schizophrenic disorders may contribute to a lower incidence and prevalence of major episodes of schizophrenia. These programmes combine early detection of psychotic features by primary care services, with close liaison with mental health professionals. Long-term monitoring of signs of recurrence, with further intervention, appears essential to maintain these benefits.
Conclusions:
Field trials demonstrate that effective early treatment strategies can be routinely applied in clinical practice.
