Our latest in World Psychiatry:

Up to 50% of psychotic and bipolar disorders occur among individuals who have attended Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

There is huge untapped potential for prediction and prevention within CAMHS.

Residential instability during adolescence associated with earlier onset of psychosis.

But being more extroverted may be protective.

At #iepa14 lang_ulla shares that examining child and adolescent services may yield identification of large % of ultimate early psychosis cases esp in youth inpatient units (37%). Current ‘CHR’ or ‘ARMS’ approaches detect 4-5% of total cases. Where you look matters !

Another talk about risk prediction this time from the IDEA study in Brazil by @ckieling - predictive accuracy for youth #depression similar to other areas of medicine and importantly qualitative data showing attitudes of youth and family about prediction.

Thank you @lang_ulla for a very interesting presentation on CAMHS and risk of psychosis #IEPA14 @IanKelleherMD @EdinUniCAPsych #research

There is a dynamic & bidirectional relationship between sleep and psychotic experiences. You can read more open access in #PsychologicalMedicine

Our new #OpenAccess paper in @SchizBulletin right before Christmas!🎄We studied how intergenerational vulnerabilities for childhood adversity get transmitted from mothers to children & how these then increase risk for psychotic experiences in offspring 🧵

"Half of all psychosis and bipolar diagnoses by the age of 28 years old occurred in individuals who had contact with CAMHS during childhood or adolescence. This has important implications for practice and prevention."
