Distorted Reality: Early Signs of Psychosis

The early signs of psychosis can scare the person experiencing them, and those who love them. But getting help as early as possible can make a big difference.

U-M Dept. of Psychiatry expert Dr. Stephan Taylor joined us and answered audience questions in this live Q&A about what to do if you or someone you know can see, hear or perceive things that aren't really there, or experiences symptoms of paranoia.

This in-depth article describes symptoms, steps to take, and more: http://michmed.org/bqkO4

He leads the team at the Program for Risk Evaluation and Prevention (PREP) Early Psychosis Clinic, which provides clinical care, performs research and trains clinicians on early recognition and treatment of psychosis and related disorders. (Also sometimes called prodromal or attenuated psychosis syndrome.)
