Download or read book The Recognition and Management of Early Psychosis written by Patrick D. McGorry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-07-28 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The treatment of early psychosis has been bedevilled by an entrenched pessimism, stemming from the asylum era and the Kraepelinian model of schizophrenia. More recently, however, there has been a surge of interest in preventively oriented treatment of patients showing the first signs of psychotic illness, with the realization that these illnesses are frequently highly responsive to early treatment. This is the first text to focus on the potential of early detection of psychosis, and the practicalities of treatment. Based on the pioneering experience and research of a now well-established prevention and intervention centre, and with contributions from international authorities, the book outlines a framework for intervention, reviews the evidence available to guide clinical practice, and describes models of treatment. Incorporating many personal narratives and case histories, it is strong on theory, sensitive on practical issues, and will challenge, inform and guide clinicians.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines from NICE set out clear recommendations, based on the best available evidence, for health care professionals on how to work with and implement physical, psychological and service-level interventions for people with various mental health conditions.The book contains the full guidelines that cannot be obtained in print anywhere else. It brings together all of the evidence that led to the recommendations made, detailed explanations of the methodology behind their preparation, plus an overview of the condition covering detection, diagnosis and assessment, and the full range of treatment and care approaches. There is a worse prognosis for psychosis and schizophrenia when onset is in childhood or adolescence, and this new NICE guideline puts much-needed emphasis on early recognition and assessment of possible psychotic symptoms. For the one-third of children and young people who go on to experience severe impairment as a result of psychosis or schizophrenia the guideline also offers comprehensive advice from assessment and treatment of the first episode through to promoting recovery.This guideline reviews the evidence for recognition and management of psychosis and schizophrenia in children and young people across the care pathway, encompassing access to and delivery of services, experience of care, recognition and management of at-risk mental states, psychological and pharmacological interventions, and improving cognition and enhancing engagement with education and employment.

Download or read book EPPIC Model and Service Implementation Guide written by H. Stavely and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide has been produced by the EPPIC National Support Program of the Orygen as a way to explain the Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Centre (EPPIC) model and to assist services when thinking about and planning for the implementation and provision of an ongoing EPPIC service.The philosophy, aims and comprehensiveness of the model, along with a detailed description of each of the core components is provided. In particular, there is discussion about the four critical factors that are essential not only for the successful implementation of an EPPIC service, but also for sustaining one.While each of the core components can be read separately it is important to note that the EPPIC model can only exist when all of the core components are provided. They also interrelate, so it is only when each of these core components are in place that an integrated and comprehensive service can be provided and achieve fidelity to the EPPIC model.Included in the discussion on each of the core components are the opportunities and factors that facilitate success, as well as the challenges and enablers that can help in meeting both the service level and clinical level issues that may arise.There is a section on scaling up of services, as this can be one option to assist after initial implementation.Clear detail is provided of all of the EPPIC standards, and these are divided into three groups. The first of these are the minimum essential or 'given' standards that will occur when implementing the model with the core components. The next are the secondary standards that need to be achieved, and the third are the guidelines that also incorporate the Australian Clinical Guidelines for Early Psychosis (2nd edition). By services taking note of and achieving these standards, fidelity to the model should be reached.
Download or read book Managing Psychosis an Australian Guide written by Mark Tayar and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychosis is a relatively common condition affecting about 3 in 1,000 Australians at any time. Psychosis generally occurs as part of other mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Psychosis may also occur in association with other medical conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, or postnatal depression. People may have a single episode of psychosis, several episodes with complete recovery, or recurring episodes throughout their lives. Psychosis is a serious and complex mental health condition. In an acute episode, a person with psychosis may be unable to differentiate what is actually happening from what they imagine is happening to them. They may be a danger to themselves or others if they act on their false beliefs. They may, for example, think that people are talking about them and accost those people and start arguing with them. The good news is that psychosis is treatable. The best outcomes are achieved when symptoms of psychosis are recognised early and treated by a psychiatrist with medications to alleviate the symptoms. This is only the first step in treatment. The guide focuses on providing a practical resource for people with psychosis to take an active role in their recovery and partner with a team of people in the community to build a healthy pattern of life with physical and psychological wellness, a strong support group, a network of friends, and a rewarding array of personal, community, and work-related activities to lead a full and productive life. The guide comes out of lived experience of a complex mental illness, negotiating through psychotic episodes, letting go of the old, understanding and acceptance of a different set of circumstances, building a life again, renegotiating relationships, starting again with work, and a career. Every journey is different. We hope the guide helps you on your journey.

This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume reviews early detection approaches and possible subsequent interventions for psychosis. After introductory chapters, various methods for early detection not only in adults, but also adolescents are described. In this context, the validity of the psychosis high-risk state is debated along with whether early detection is indeed helpful, or actually stigmatizing, for the patient. Further contributions review neuroimaging, including structural and functional MRI, as well as pattern recognition methods and measurement of connectivity abnormalities. Neurocognitive and neurophysiological assessments are also discussed in detail. The last part focuses on early intervention for emerging psychosis, including psychological methods, non-pharmacological substances and pharmacological treatments. Overall conclusions and future perspectives are provided in a final chapter. This book is a state-of-the-art review of current options. It is important reading for researchers and clinicians faced with recognizing and treating psychosis in the most timely and effective manner possible.

Download or read book Oxford Textbook of Public Mental Health written by Dinesh Bhugra and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevention of mental illness and mental health promotion have often been ignored in the past, both in undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. Recently, however, there has been a clear shift towards public mental health, as a result of increasing scientific evidence that both these actions have a serious potential to reduce the onset of illness and subsequent burden as a result of mental illness and related social, economic and political costs. A clear distinction between prevention of mental illness and mental health promotion is critical. Selective prevention, both at societal and individual level, is an important way forward. The Oxford Textbook of Public Mental Health brings together the increasing interest in public mental health and the growing emphasis on the prevention of mental ill health and promotion of well-being into a single comprehensive textbook. Comprising international experiences of mental health promotion and mental well-being, chapters are supplemented with practical examples and illustrations to provide the most relevant information succinctly. This book will serve as an essential resource for mental and public health professionals, as well as for commissioners of services, nurses and community health visitors.

Download or read book Early Detection and Management of Mental Disorders written by Mario Maj and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-01-28 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research evidence concerning the precursors (a sign or symptom that heralds another) and prodromes (an early or premonitory symptom of a disease) of the various mental disorders is growing but is at present widely dispersed and inaccessible. Clinicians have to rely on their own experience, which is often limited, when faced with several delicate diagnostic and treatment issues. This book aims to approach for the first time in a comprehensive way this emerging area of clinical psychiatry. The World Health Organisation has found that mental disorders such as depression and psychosis rank in the top 10 of leading causes of disability in the world, creating a significant social, emotional and economic burden for young people, their families and society. Early detection of these potentially disabling disorders and treatment at the time of initial onset can greatly improve long-term outcomes and effect dramatic cost-savings. The related Birchwood title has sold nearly 2300 copies and is popular at psychiatry conferences. From an R&D perspective, industry have a stake in this area. Obviously, if biomarkers or other prodromal evidence can be determined in various disorders, then drugs will start to be dispensed earlier. The topic has increased in popularity as a subject for satellite symposia e.g Jeffrey Lieberman chaired the Bristol Myers Squibb symposia at the American Psychiatric Association. This dealt with early intervention in schizophrenia and the need for novel approaches in the prodromal phase. In addition, more symposia (and research) look at disorders "across the lifespan." This phrase indicates an approach to research, diagnosis and treatment from a more quality-of-life vantage and early diagnosis is part of this movement.
