Article Synopsis
- An average of 1300 adults experience First Episode Psychosis (FEP) in Ireland yearly, with a local Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) program launched in Dublin in 2012 to improve treatment outcomes.
- A cross-sectional study from 2016 to 2022 showed that significantly more service users received Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and family therapy post-EIP compared to pre-EIP, with notable improvements in physical health monitoring as well.
- The findings suggest that dedicating multidisciplinary teams to EIP enhances adherence to treatment guidelines, benefiting those with psychosis.
