Matching Treatment: A First Psychotic Episode
Captions available
The idea
A first psychotic episode is matched to antipsychotic medication alongside coordinated specialty care, and earlier treatment predicts better outcome.
In practice
Medication, family education, and supported employment are delivered as one package.
Where people slip
Medication alone leaves negative symptoms and functioning largely untouched, which is what the package addresses.
