Clinical Considerations for Clinical High Risk and Early Psychosis: Detection, Assessment, Referral and Treatment
100,000 young Americans develop psychosis each year. On average, more than one year passes before getting help. We call this the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP). We know that the longer the DUP the poorer the outcome (Penttilla et al, 2014). In addition there is a 'critical period' of 5 years during which optimal treatment can be recieved and after which a plateau of disability happens (Birchwood et al., 1998). We now have a network of Early Intervention Services nationwide to work within this critical period. But these services are meaningless in the absence of timely referrals.
Learning Objectives: At the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1. Participants will be able to describe the difference between Clinical High Risk (CHR), early psychosis (EP) and full blown psychosis. 2. Participants will be able to effectively assess for clinical high risk and early psychosis. 3. Participants will be able to demonstrate engagement tools for talking with students about psychosis and facilitate their referral.
