Rationale for clinical interventions in prodromal psychosis. Are such interventions safe?

ABSTRACT

We compare the reported side effects of medication from the trials of prodromal psychosis treatment. We note that the side effects of antipsychotics are those described in the usual pharmacology of these substances and that the severity of side effects are dependent on dosage, with more side effects at higher doses. We report on the search for alternative compounds for the treatment of prodromal psychosis. Omega fatty acids and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are certainly good adjuvant treatments for suspected prodromal psychosis. With further evidence they may be considered appropriate to use as monotherapy, particularly in the early prodrome. Treatment of prodromal psychosis continues to present a number of risks; therefore the decision to treat ultimately must depend on the symptoms presented by the individual.
