Stratification and prediction of remission in first-episode psychosis patients: the OPTiMiSE cohort study.

Early response to first-line antipsychotic treatments is strongly associated with positive long-term symptomatic and functional outcome in psychosis. Unfortunately, attempts to identify reliable predictors of treatment response in first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients have not yet been successful. One reason for this could be that FEP patients are highly heterogeneous in terms of symptom expression and underlying disease biological mechanisms, thereby impeding the identification of one-size-fits-all predictors of treatment response.

Recognition of early warning signs in patients with schizophrenia: a review of the literature.

This article reviews and discusses the literature on the recognition of the early warning signs of psychosis. The assumption is that nurses, in the everyday exercise of their profession, can contribute to the prevention of psychotic relapse in schizophrenic patients by the early recognition of warning signs. First, the process of psychotic relapse and the factors that influence it are described.
