This session aims to explore the importance of early identification and intervention in the management of patients experiencing their initial schizophrenic episode. The session will cover key strategies for assessing and diagnosing early symptoms, including prodromal and attenuated psychotic symptoms. We will also discuss evidence-based interventions, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, that can improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of relapse.
The session will highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach to care, with an emphasis on collaboration between psychiatric medical professionals, social workers, and other healthcare providers. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of early intervention in improving long-term outcomes for patients with schizophrenia, as well as practical tools for implementing effective interventions in clinical practice.
