Adolescent Psychosis: Clinical and Scientific Perspectives presents new methodologies and novel scientific findings, with a comprehensive orientation into the genetics, phenomenology, nosology, and long-term outcome of adolescent early-onset psychosis research. This volume discusses recent epidemiological studies, along with co-morbid aspects associated with other neurodevelopmental syndromes and somatic diseases. The book also provides suggestions for future research using a translational perspective, from genes to the clinic to and relevant phenotypes, biomarkers, treatment options and etiological aspects. Topics discussed bring together expert researchers in the field to represent different perspectives and future possibilities.
Provides a comprehensive overview that integrates the latest research
Features unique chapters on brain imaging, cognition and immune function in patients
Focuses on potential risk factors, underlying genetics, family history, and epidemiology
Summarizes or advises treatment opportunities and long-term outcomes
Discusses relevance to similar psychiatric conditions
