Background: The first episode of a psychotic disorder provides a unique opportunity to initiate optimal treatment but when a new medication becomes available, little data exist to guide the appropriate use in this population.
Objectives: The objectives were to determine the optimal doses and titration of quetiapine for this group and to measure outcomes (including symptom response, social functioning, mood alterations, motor symptoms, metabolic parameters and cognitive functioning) over 2 years of treatment with quetiapine.
Design: Thirty nine subjects with a first episode of psychosis referred to the Nova Scotia Early Psychosis Program in Halifax, Canada, were invited to participate in this study.
