Telehealth of Coordinated Specialty Care in Early Psychosis During COVID-19.

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic forced health care globally to provide remote services when feasible. In March 2020, psychiatric outpatient services across the United States transitioned to telehealth. Persons with early psychosis (EP) face challenges to maintain connection with care, an important element associated with better outcome.

Feasibility of Mobile Health and Social Media-Based Interventions for Young Adults With Early Psychosis and Clinical Risk for Psychosis: Survey Study.

Background: Digital technology, the internet, and social media are increasingly investigated as promising means for monitoring symptoms and delivering mental health treatment. These apps and interventions have demonstrated preliminary acceptability and feasibility, but previous reports suggest that access to technology may still be limited among individuals with psychotic disorders relative to the general population.

Objective: We evaluated and compared access to and use of technology and social media in young adults with psychotic disorders (PD), young adults with clinical risk for psychosis (CR), and psychosis-free youths (PF).
