Longer Duration of Untreated Psychosis Hinders Improvement in Treatment of Chronic Schizophrenia: Community Based Early Intervention is an Evidence Based Option.
Community Mental Health Journal 2017 November
To determine the effects of community-based mental health services on the quality of life and disease symptoms of chronic schizophrenia patients and to determine the effects of duration of untreated psychosis on outcome. The first year records of schizophrenia patients who had been followed up at Zeytinburnu CMHC for at least 12 months, have been used to asses outcome using initial and 12th month quality of life (QoL), positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) scores. Highly significant improvements were shown in the QoL and PANSS scores. There were significant differences between the two study groups (duration of untreated psychosis >2 years, versus duration of untreated psychosis <2 years) in terms of improvements in QoL and PANSS scores. Formation of early intervention teams that seek to provide preventive activities (i.e. for schizophrenia) in countries that have changed to community based mental health systems is a sound mental health implementation.
