So if somebody is help-seeking for a psychotic experience- as mentioned earlier, certainly due to the fact that they're distressed, that they're impaired by their symptoms, that the symptoms have had sufficient duration, we would want to initiate a comprehensive assessment.
Imagine being able to spot the early signs of psychosis in young people and intervene before things get worse. In this episode of Clinician Cast, Dr. Sabina Abidi and Laura Carnegy from the IWK Health Centre dive into just that. They share their expertise on early intervention strategies for youth showing psychotic symptoms, aiming to prevent the progression of serious mental illness.
With a focus on comprehensive assessments and careful diagnosis, they emphasize the importance of understanding the nuances of differential diagnosis in young patients. The discussion also covers risk factors for developing psychotic disorders and the potential impact of certain medications. This episode is a treasure trove of knowledge for mental health professionals dedicated to improving outcomes for young patients.
