Abstract:
There has been renewed interest into affective symptoms and psychological approaches to schizophrenia and other psychosis, yet no in-depth investigation as to the course, consequences or indeed psychological causes of depression in a phase specific manner in the important first episode. Our understanding of risk and aetiological processes in psychotic illness will only advance once we accurately identify the “end phenotype” of psychotic illness. This series of studies investigates the course of depression in first episode psychosis, its significance in terms of suicidal thinking, and relation

Abstract:
This paper addresses whether the concept of illness perceptions, which has been developed in the arena of chronic physical illness, can be applied to an acute mental illness such as first episode psychosis. Literature related to first episode psychosis and illness perceptions is reviewed and the potential benefits and problems of using the illness perceptions framework when trying to understand how people make sense of a first episode of psychosis are discussed. Finally, areas warranting exploration in further research are highlighted.

Abstract:
Nowadays, advances in affective and social neuroscience have shown how the exposure to environmental factors has an impact on the structure and functioning of the brain being thus, active agents in the formation of an individual’s level of vulnerability. There is an increasing interest in the influence of stress on many diseases including a first-episode psychosis (FEP). From the stress-vulnerability model (Zubin & Spring, 1977) to the current models of neural diathesis-stress (Pruessner et al., 2017), schizophrenia is conceptualised as an episodic disorder in which there is vulnerability an

Abstract:
Psychosis encompasses a constellation of symptoms that have far-reaching social, physical and functional consequences for sufferers. One of the key clinical concerns in the management of psychotic illnesses is the risk of suicide, which is greatest in the early stages of psychosis. Hopelessness is consistently associated with risk for suicide but as a concept it is not well defined and is not specific enough to be of use in prediction of suicide. Future-directed thinking, particularly regarding positive future events, constitutes an aspect of hopelessness that is closely associated with risk f

Abstract:
Introduction: Psychotic disorders are known for their wide variability in clinical and social outcomes beginning from illness onset and throughout their course. Our current lack of understanding of the origins for this heterogeneity is further compounded by dearth in knowledge on how patients come to the attention of mental health services and methodological incongruity across different studies. Employing samples of first episode psychosis (FEP) patients, the aims of this thesis were to: 1) look back on the pathways to care patients used to enter mental health services and the use of prodromal

Abstract:
Background: Antipsychotic medication is given in first episode psychosis in a prophylactic sense and also as a treatment. Young people experiencing their first episode of psychosis are generally the most responsive to pharmacological treatment. They are also the most susceptible to adverse events. Avoiding adverse events when individuals first start treatment is particularly important as the person's initial clinical experience may colour their attitude to medication thereafter. What it is like to take antipsychotic medication from the perspective of young people experiencing their first episo

Abstract:
There is ample evidence that patients with psychosis are more likely to use illicit substances than the general population, with cannabis being the most popular. Research has also shown that cannabis use is associated with poor prognostic outcomes in patients with an established psychotic disorder. It is important to understand the reasons patients with psychosis endorse for their cannabis use and findings so far point towards an ‘alleviation of dysphoria’ model rather than the ‘self-medication’ hypothesis. It is not known how the level of motivation to change cannabis use can affect patients’

Abstract:
Contemporary views of psychosis are more positive about outcomes and the potential for people with psychosis to have experiences of recovery. People who experience psychosis often use NHS services to help them manage their difficulties and specialist psychosis services, like Early Intervention (EI) are now common. However, it is not just secondary mental health services that are important in helping to manage people with psychosis. The first paper explores the role for primary care in managing this client group and systematically reviews the UK literature from 1997 on empirically tested method
