OVERVIEW

Early Detection and Prevention of Psychotic Disorders: Ready for "Prime Time" ? is organized by Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF) and will be held on Feb 12, 2019.

Conference Description:
Research suggesting significantly better outcomes in schizophrenia when it is treated early has led to efforts to provide coordinated, multispecialty care as soon as possible to individuals who experience a first episode of psychosis. The next advance with a potentially game-changing impact will be the development of reliable means of identifying and treating those at high risk prior to a first psychotic episode. I will discuss efforts to develop more precise diagnostic measures using biomarkers and innovative treatments for preventive intervention, research that could lead disease-modifying treatments.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
