Abstract:
BackgroundFew studies have evaluated the development in the use of antipsychotic medication and psychotic symptoms in patients with first-episode psychosis on a long-term basis. Our objective was to investigate how psychotic symptoms and the use of antipsychotic medication changed over a 10-year period in a cohort of patients with first-episode psychosis.MethodThe study is a longitudinal prospective cohort study over 10 years with follow-ups at years 1, 2, 5 and 10. A total of 496 patients with first-episode psychosis were included in a multi-centre study initiated between 1998 and 2000 in Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark.ResultsAt all follow-ups, a large proportion (20–30%) of patients had remission of psychotic symptoms without use of antipsychotic medication at the time of the follow-up. Patients who were in this group at the 5-year follow-up had an 87% [95% confidence interval (CI) 77–96%] chance of being in the same group at the 10-year follow-up. This stability was also the case for patients who had psychotic symptoms and were treated with antipsychotic medication at year 5, where there was a 67% (95% CI 56–78%) probability of being in this group at the consecutive follow-up.ConclusionsA large group of patients with psychotic illness were in remission without the use of antipsychotic medication, peaking at year 10. Overall there was a large degree of stability in disease courses over the 10-year period. These results suggest that the long-term outcome of psychotic illness is heterogeneous and further investigation on a more individualized approach to long-term treatment is needed.

Abstract:
BackgroundThe boundaries of psychotic illness and the extent to which operational diagnostic categories are distinct in the long term remain poorly understood. Clarification of these issues requires prospective evaluation of diagnostic trajectory, interplay and convergence/divergence across psychotic illness, without a priori diagnostic or other restrictions.MethodThe Cavan-Monaghan First Episode Psychosis Study (CAMFEPS), conducted using methods to attain the closest approximation to epidemiological completeness, incepts all 12 DSM-IV psychotic diagnoses. In this study we applied methodologies to achieve diagnostic reassessments on follow-up, at a mean of 6.4 years after first presentation, for 196 (97%) of the first 202 cases, with quantification of prospective and retrospective consistency.ResultsOver 6 years, the 12 initial psychotic diagnoses were characterized by numerous transitions but only limited convergence towards a smaller number of more stable diagnostic nodes. In particular, for initial brief psychotic disorder (BrP), in 85% of cases this was the harbinger of long-term evolution to serious psychotic illness of diagnostic diversity; for initial major depressive disorder with psychotic features (MDDP), in 18% of cases this was associated with mortality of diverse causality; and for initial psychotic disorder not otherwise specified (PNOS), 31% of cases continued to defy DSM-IV criteria.ConclusionsCAMFEPS methodology revealed, on an individual case basis, a diversity of stabilities in, and transitions between, all 12 DSM-IV psychotic diagnoses over 6 years; thus, psychotic illness showed longitudinal disrespect to current nosology and may be better accommodated by a dimensional model. In particular, a first episode of BrP or MDDP may benefit from more vigorous, sustained interventions.

Abstract:
Health psychology researchers have begun to focus greater attention on people’s beliefs about health/illness since these beliefs can clearly affect behavior. This cross-sectional study aimed at (1) identifying the most common factors psychotic patients attribute their illness to and (2) assessing the association between causal attribution and illness perception (cognitive, emotional, and comprehensibility dimensions). Sixty-two patients (56.5% females) who had been treated for psychosis at a public psychiatric hospital in Mexico answered the Angermeyer and Klusmann Illness Attribution Scale and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Results showed that most patients attributed psychosis onset to social factors and that attribution to their personality might have an overwhelmingly negative effect on their lives. Acknowledging psychotic patient attributional beliefs and considering them in clinical practice could improve treatment efficacy and overall recovery success. This is particularly important in psychosis, since symptoms are often severe and/or persistent and require long-term treatment.

AbstractObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to compare the clinical features and response patterns to the long-term prophylaxis of bipolar patients with or without psychotic features.MethodThe life charts of patients with bipolar I disorder were evaluated. Two hundred and eighty-one patients who suffer with bipolar disorder for at least 4 years and who had at least three mood episodes were included to the study. The patients whose all episodes are psychotic (psychotic group) and the patients who never experienced psychotic episode (non-psychotic group) were assigned as comparison groups. The clinical features and the response to long-term prophylaxis were compared across the groups.ResultsThe psychotic group consists of 43 patients; non-psychotic group consists of 54 patients. The history of bipolar disorder among the first-degree relatives was remarkably more prevalent in non-psychotic group (p = 0.032). The predominance of manic/hypomanic episodes was significantly higher in psychotic group than non-psychotic group; and the rate of depressive episodes were higher in non-psychotic group than psychotic group (p = 0.013). Episodes were more severe (p < 0.001) and hospitalization rates were higher (p = 0.023) in psychotic group. The response to lithium monotherapy was better in non-psychotic group (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe well identified psychotic subtype of bipolar patients may give important predictions about long term course and prophylaxis of bipolar disorder.

Abstract:
The release of the antipsychotic agents risperidone, sertindole and olanzepine forces difficult choices upon clinicians. The new compounds are better tolerated than neuroleptics, expensive and their long-term side-effects unknown. These choices can be made easier by the dose and side-effect minimisation procedure set out below, which aims to produce the greatest benefit and least harm from conventional neuroleptics.

Abstract:
Feigned psychosis, although rare, presents considerable diagnostic problems in clinical psychiatric practice. Long-term follow up data are lacking. A retrospective case note study was undertaken of 10 patients described in a previous paper, published in 1970, on the simulation of psychosis. The computerised diagnostic instrument OPCRIT was applied to both index episode and lifetime occurrence of symptoms. All 10 patients were found to have had a major psychotic illness based on lifetime symptoms at 20 year follow-up by DSM–III–R criteria. Eight had met such criteria at the time of the initial episode. Diagnosis in patients thought to be feigning psychotic symptoms changes over time and major mental illness is likely to emerge which may be schizophrenic or affective. The term feigned psychosis should be abandoned and more attention given to why symptoms are accepted as genuine in some cases but not others.

Abstract:
Eighty-nine consecutive admissions with primary depressive illness were prospectively ascertained and diagnosed in 1965–66 by R. E. Kendell, who also allocated each a position on a neurotic-psychotic continuum on the basis of previous discriminant function analysis. In 1983–84, 94% of the survivors were personally interviewed by a psychiatrist blind to index admission data. Operational outcome criteria were employed and longitudinal data were established for 98% of the series. Mortality risk was doubled overall, and increased sevenfold for women under 40 years at index admission. Less than one-fifth of the survivors had remained well, and over one-third of the series suffered unnatural death or severe chronic distress and handicap. Patients whose index episode marked their first psychiatric contact had a 50% chance of readmission within their lifetime, but those with previous admissions had a 50% chance of readmission within three years. Readmissions occurred even after 12 years of being symptom-free, and conversely patients recovered after as long as 15 years of illness. There was a high incidence of other disorders (schizoaffective disorder, alcoholism, schizophrenia), and only four patients showed pure recurrent unipolar histories. Patients at the psychotic end of the continuum were more likely to be readmitted and to have very poor outcomes.

Abstract:
Syrén, Susanne (2010). Det outsagda och ohörsammade lidandet. Tillvaron för personer med långvarig psykossjukdom och deras närstående (Being in the world with long term psychotic illness – the unspoken and unheard suffering), Linnaeus University Dissertations No 6/2010. ISBN: 978-91-86491-07-9. Written in Swedish with a summary in English. Aim: The overall aim of the thesis was to describe the lived experience of being in the world with long term psychotic illness. This is described from three perspectives; the perspective of persons diagnosed with long term psychotic disorder; the perspective of their relatives; and a family perspective. Method: Three studies were conducted guided by a reflective lifeworld approach grounded in phenomenology. The data were generated through individual, group, and family interviews. Data were analyzed for essential meanings of being in the world. Results: Persons with long term psychotic illness live in a borderland of paradoxes between the usual and unusual. For the ill persons the existence is incomprehensible and defenceless with feelings of not being at home in the body and in the world. They search for themselves in a care context that is contradictory, simultaneously good and hostile. These experiences are mostly unspoken, a struggle with doubts about having health or illness, what is good or evil, and about being usual or unusual. The relatives exist in a dilemma of the possible and impossible, a continual infinite struggle. Co-existing with their ill family member is a communion and a longing for togetherness is prominent. Relatives struggle with responsibilities for themselves and for their ill family member. In these unheard struggles the relatives yearn for participation in the formal care context. Family interviews with persons with long term psychotic illness and their relatives revealed a co-existence hovering between chaos and boredom while striving for a peaceful and quiet life. Thefamilies search for constancy and predictability in the presence of incomprehensible and threatening dangers. The experience of being a We balances the unshared meanings of being in the world and the loss of being able to experience and do things together. The experience of being a We keeps their individual existence and co- existence from falling apart.Conclusion: Persons with long term psychotic illness and their relatives have to withstand extensive existential suffering, which is unspoken and unheard. Formal caring should be existential caring, supporting the ill person’s comprehensibility and understanding of life, and feelings and experiences of being at home. Further, relatives should be acknowledged both as persons and carers and invited to participate in formal care. These results also point to the importance of strengthening feelings of togetherness and of being a We through systemic oriented existential conversations, where the ill person, their relative and a formal carer converse together.

Abstract:
Motivations The growing interest in the investigation of longitudinal course and outcome of psychotic disorders grew from the Kraepelinian view of schizophrenia, which was considered a disease with progressive downhill course. With emerging evidence-based findings suggesting outcome heterogeneity, prospective studies have strived to identify factors influencing the course and outcome. The paucity of prospective long-term studies has prevented us from knowing the enduring impacts of predictors. Using a prospective cohort of 153 psychosis patients, the study aimed to determine the outcome of global functioning, remission, functional recovery, and recovery at 13 years following the first-episode psychosis. Prognostic values of a range of baseline and early outcome predictors were examined. Specific research interests included the explorations of the enduring impact of duration of untreated psychosis (DUP), the longitudinal relationship between neurocognition and functional outcome, and the added predictive ability of early outcome predictors. Methods This study attempted to follow up the 153 patients at 13 years following their first episode onset of psychosis. Prior investigations collected a comprehensive profile of demographics, premorbid adjustment, clinical symptoms, and neurcognition at baseline. Early outcomes at 3 years including remission, relapse, primary negative symptoms, and unemployment were also ascertained. In this current investigation, living subjects were invited to an interview in order to assess their outcomes of global functioning, remission, functional recovery, and recovery at 13 years. Appropriate regression models were applied to identify predictors of long-term outcomes. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for all-cause mortality and suicide were also determined. Results Ninety-six patients were successfully interviewed. Their mean (s.d.) score of global functioning was 64.3 (16.5). Considerable proportions of patients fulfilled criteria for remission (47%), functional recovery (33%), and recovery (16%) at 13 years. Higher level of global functioning was predicted by a married status at study entry and being in remission and employed at 3 years. Remission was predicted by a shorter DUP and better premorbid social adjustment. Functional recovery was predicted by better premorbid social adjustment, better baseline visual memory, and being employed at 3 years. No baseline and early outcome predictors of recovery could be identified. Addition of early outcome predictors significantly increased the variance explained for global functioning and improved model discrimination between patients who had functional recovery and those who had not. SMRs for all-cause mortality and suicide were 6.07 and 24.80, respectively. Discussion A prolonged DUP may intensify the progression of negative symptoms and lead to less likelihood of remission. The study has confirmed the enduring adverse impact of DUP but its reversibility is still in doubt. As the significance of visual memory in functional outcome has not received consistent support from literature, more prospective long-term studies are in need to re-examine the relationship. Early outcome predictors appear to be more relevant to functional outcome than clinical outcome.

Abstract:
Objective: Chronic physical health problems are on the rise. Psychological interventions can play a role in helping people cope with the challenges that long term physical conditions brings. This thesis systematically reviewed the literature for group psychological interventions. Following this, an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group intervention for people living with a range of long term physical conditions was designed and evaluated. Methods: Key databases were searched for relevant randomized-controlled studies. Papers that met inclusion criteria were quality assessed, and a meta-analysis was conducted. Participants with chronic physical health conditions were invited to an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group (n=53). Measures were completed at assessment, pre, post and 3-month follow-up. These assessed anxiety and depression symptoms, health perceptions, values-based living and psychological flexibility. Assessment to pre-intervention served as a within-participant control. Results: 22 relevant studies were retrieved, with 18 rated as acceptable or high quality and 14 included in a meta-analysis. The majority of studies reported interventions as efficacious at reducing mental health problems, though effect sizes were weaker when compared to active controls such as education. In the Acceptance and Commitment therapy group, depression and anxiety symptoms reduced significantly from pre to post, compared to control period. Conclusions: Group psychological interventions may be beneficial for people with physical health problems. In particular, group-based ACT interventions may be effective with this population and can be delivered transdiagnostically for a range of physical conditions.

Abstract:

This study investigated a consecutive cohort of 88 youngsters with onset of a psychotic disorder at age 15.7 (sd 1.5) years and followed-up 10.6 (sd 3.6) years after first admission at the age of 26.5 (sd 3.7) years. A subsample of 15 subjects were assessed with the Five Minute Speech Sample for measuring Expressed Emotion and subsequent recording of relapses during a two year period.

A diagnostic split between schizophrenia spectrum psychosis and affective psychotic disorder was usually stable over time. The main diagnostic shift was an influx to schizophrenia spectrum disorder of subjects with a better premorbid function and less insidious onset as compared to those with a stable schizophrenia diagnosis.

Early onset schizophrenia spectrum disorder usually had a poor functional outcome. Most subjects needed support in the form of a disability pension. Early onset affective psychotic disorder usually had a good functional outcome. Most subjects worked and enjoyed regular friendships. The functional level before onset of illness was the best predictor of future functional level in psychotic disorders. A family history of non-affective psychosis predicted a worse function in schizophrenia. Frequent episodes and low intelligence predicted a worse function in affective disorders.

Four men (4.5% of the sample) committed suicide. The risk of suicide was increased about 30 times. Almost a third of subjects attempted suicide. Females made more attempts. Suicide attempts were related to more depressive symptoms but less negative symptoms at first episode, to readmissions and to dependence on nicotine.

Subjects with schizophrenia spectrum psychoses were less satisfied with life than those with affective psychotic disorder. Subjective satisfaction in schizophrenia was strongly associated to depressive mood while in affective disorders it was associated to degree of employment.

Adolescents with psychosis in families rated high or borderline high in Expressed Emotion either during first episode or after discharge had an increased risk of relapse.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to assess the attitudes towards individuals with mental illness among the healthcare providers of a long-term care facility. It takes a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive approach to view relationships. Minimal research exists in this subject matter, and literature reviews suggest that negative attitudes toward mental illness exist among healthcare providers (Ahmead et al., 2010; Aydin et al., 2003; Bjorkman et al., 2008; Rao et al., 2008; Reed & Fitzgerald, 2005; Ucok, 2008; Ross & Goldner, 2009; Smith et al., 2011; Zolnierek & Clingerman, 2012). The Community Attitudes toward the Mentally Ill (CAMI) questionnaire was given to a sample of 51 long-term care employees. Data was analyzed by using the IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0, focusing on significant results concerning t-test, chi-square, and correlations in order to answer the research questions. Findings suggest a majority of the employee's attitudes in this long-term care facility were nonauthoritarian, nonsocial restrictive, and nonbenevolent. While there was no significant empirical support for differences in attitudes among RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, certain questions on the CAMI did provide significant results. Related to this there was also no empirical evidence for differences among the attitudes of departments, except when individual analysis of each question was complete. Correlational analysis showed relationships between various variables: education and seeking treatment for oneself, race and previous work experience, department and previous work experience, authoritarian views and gender, authoritarian views and education, nonsocial restrictive view and age, community mental health ideology and age, and community mental health ideology and department. Implications on future research and a discussion of recommendations to further decrease stigma in the long-term care environment are completed.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: According to the World Health Organization, long-term illness will account for almost three-quarters of global deaths by 2020. Evidence supports the use of both self-management and mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for those who live with long-term illness. While this research is promising, a major barrier with traditional MBIs is the amount of time they require (eight weeks) and the necessity of a trained specialist. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this thesis is to develop and evaluate a brief MBI for those with long-term illness, through a literature review, a qualitative study and a pilot study. METHODS: A systematic review of studies using brief MBIs for health-related outcomes was the initial stage. This provided a basis for a qualitative study, which was conducted to assess views of long-term illness patients (i.e., persistent pain, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease) on the acceptability of a brief (10 minute) MBI, to define population suitability and to refine delivery and assessment. A pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT), informed by results from the first study, was then conducted with persistent pain patients. A brief mindfulness body scan audio was compared to an active control and immediate effects of the intervention were assessed with brief measures for perceived pain severity, distress and distraction. Feasibility of a definitive RCT was assessed in relation to recruitment and retention rates. At baseline, one week and one month, assessments included: mindfulness, anxiety, depression, health-related quality of life, pain catastrophizing, pain self-efficacy, activities of daily living limitations, and ratings o f‘usefulness’ and ‘likelihood to recommend’ the intervention. RESULTS: The review identified 71 eligible studies of brief MBIs, including 70 RCTs. Sixty-seven studies observed a positive effect on at least one health related outcome. There was high heterogeneity for both types of MBI and health-related outcomes and low use of clinical populations. Results from the qualitative study, with 14 patients, suggested that a brief MBI audio was acceptable and was most suited to a persistent pain population. Patients tended to prefer an MBI of 15 minutes rather than 10 minutes. In the pilot study of a 15 minute MBI audio, of 220 patients referred, 147 were randomised and 71 completed all assessments. There were no significant immediate effects of the MBI, although there was a tendency for a marked improvement in both groups. Significant effects were found for ‘usefulness’ at one week and self-efficacy at one month in the MBI group compared with the control. Levels of recruitment were acceptable and attrition rates were high. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the systematic review demonstrate that brief MBIs can have a positive impact on a range of health-related outcomes and that further studies are required, especially with clinical populations. Qualitative findings confirm the acceptability of a brief MBI, particularly for a persistent pain population. In the pilot study, lack of immediate effects could be due to the potency of the control and a less engaging control needs to be considered. A definitive trial is required in which retention of patients is optimized, for example, by delivering the MBI alongside existing rehabilitative programmes.

Abstract:
Drop-in centers for individuals with serious and persistent mental illness offer a unique and perhaps under-recognized environment option for adjunct treatment. The current study examines and evaluates components thought to be a part of an enriched drop-in center experience that contribute to positive member outcomes through the effects of empowerment. These components include self-help, peer support, and creative expression. Outcomes were evaluated based on quality of life, self-worth, and symptom reduction. Such data are necessary in promoting the growth and development of drop-in centers and identification of components that contribute to positive member outcomes. Participants (n=101) were administered a series of measures including The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, The Empowerment Scale, The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF, The BASIS-32™, and a series of questions created for the purposes of the current study regarding creative expression and self-help. The psychometric properties of each measure were evaluated and reviewed. Additionally, mean differences between normative data and participant means were examined and demographic data were analyzed. It was hypothesized from the literature that self-help, peer support, and creative expression would have significant indirect effects on all of the proposed outcome variables through the effects of empowerment. Results revealed significant indirect relationships between peer support and all of the outcome variables through the effects of empowerment and between self-help and all of the outcome variables through the effects of empowerment. No significant relationships were found between creative expression and any of the outcome variables through the effects of empowerment. These findings suggest that peer support and self-help may be instrumental in achieving positive outcomes through the effects of empowerment. Centers that offer experiences to enhance self-help and peer support will subsequently enhance feelings of empowerment in members, which relates to higher levels of self-worth, higher levels of quality of life, and lower levels of psychiatric symptomatology. Further implications of such findings and suggestions for continuation of this research are discussed in detail.

Abstract:
Subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke is a devastating illness with a 30-day mortality rate of 45% and is mostly caused due to the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. Although these aneurysms are currently treated surgically by clipping, or, endovascularly by coiling and stent-assisted coiling, the feasibility of successfully treating aneurysms solely by the placement of an intravascular flow-diverting mesh across the aneurysm neck was established more than a decade ago [1]. Flow divertors disrupt the momentum exchange between the parent artery and aneurysm and significantly reduce intraaneurysmal hydrodynamic vorticity. The resultant flow stasis promotes thrombus formation within the aneurysm sac, which eventually matures into fibrotic tissue, leading to the exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation. With the increased use of stents in the intracranial circulation, cases where coiling is not feasible, or is staged as a secondary procedure, are providing clinical evidence of the successful treatment of aneurysms with stents alone [2,3]. Such reports are sporadic and, moreover, the devices used are not designed to be flow divertors. Methodological evidence of the performance of appropriately designed flow divertors in treating cerebral aneurysms is currently unavailable.

Abstract:
This study is the latest in a series monitoring the evolution of poverty, based on data gathered by The ESRI in the Living in Ireland Surveys since 1994. These have allowed progress towards achieving the targets set out in the National Anti Poverty Strategy since 1997 to be assessed. The present study provides an updated picture using results from the 2000 round of the Living in Ireland survey. The numbers interviewed in the 2000 Living in Ireland survey were enhanced substantially, to compensate for attrition in the panel survey since it commenced in 1994. Individual interviews were conducted with 8,056 respondents. Relative income poverty lines do not on their own provide a satisfactory measure of exclusion due to lack of resources, but do nonetheless produce important key indicators of medium to long-term background trends. The numbers falling below relative income poverty lines were most often higher in 2000 than in 1997 or 1994. The income gap for those falling below these thresholds also increased. By contrast, the percentage of persons falling below income lines indexed only to prices (rather than average income) since 1994 or 1997 fell sharply, reflecting the pronounced real income growth throughout the distribution between then and 2000. This contrast points to the fundamental factors at work over this highly unusual period: unemployment fell very sharply and substantial real income growth was seen throughout the distribution, including social welfare payments, but these lagged behind income from work and property so social welfare recipients were more likely to fall below thresholds linked to average income. The study shows an increasing probability of falling below key relative income thresholds for single person households, those affected by illness or disability, and for those who are aged 65 or over - many of whom rely on social welfare support. Those in households where the reference person is unemployed still face a relatively high risk of falling below the income thresholds but continue to decline as a proportion of all those below the lines. Women face a higher risk of falling below those lines than men, but this gap was marked among the elderly. The study shows a marked decline in deprivation levels across different household types. As a result consistent poverty, that is the numbers both below relative income poverty lines and experiencing basic deprivation, also declined sharply. Those living in households comprising one adult with children continue to face a particularly high risk of consistent poverty, followed by those in families with two adults and four or more children. The percentage of adults in households below 70 per cent of median income and experiencing basic deprivation was seen to have fallen from 9 per cent in 1997 to about 4 per cent, while the percentage of children in such households fell from 15 per cent to 8 per cent. Women aged 65 or over faced a significantly higher risk of consistent poverty than men of that age. Up to 2000, the set of eight basic deprivation items included in the measure of consistent poverty were unchanged, so it was important to assess whether they were still capturing what would be widely seen as generalised deprivation. Factor analysis suggested that the structuring of deprivation items into the different dimensions has remained remarkably stable over time. Combining low income with the original set of basic deprivation indicators did still appear to identify a set of households experiencing generalised deprivation as a result of prolonged constraints in terms of command over resources, and distinguished from those experiencing other types of deprivation. However, on its own this does not tell the whole story - like purely relative income measures - nor does it necessarily remain the most appropriate set of indicators looking forward. Finally, it is argued that it would now be appropriate to expand the range of monitoring tools to include alternative poverty measures incorporating income and deprivation. Levels of deprivation for some of the items included in the original basic set were so low by 2000 that further progress will be difficult to capture empirically. This represents a remarkable achievement in a short space of time, but poverty is invariably reconstituted in terms of new and emerging social needs in a context of higher societal living standards and expectations. An alternative set of basic deprivation indicators and measure of consistent poverty is presented, which would be more likely to capture key trends over the next number of years. This has implications for the approach adopted in monitoring the National Anti-Poverty Strategy. Monitoring over the period to 2007 should take a broader focus than the consistent poverty measure as constructed to date, with attention also paid to both relative income and to consistent poverty with the amended set of indicators identified here.

Abstract:
Offspring of patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder have an increased risk of developing these conditions. However, our capacity to predict the long-term outcomes of these at-risk individuals is limited. Now, researchers have investigated whether longitudinal changes in brain structure differ in individuals at high familial risk who develop psychotic spectrum symptoms, compared to those who do not and to low-risk controls.
