At risk mental state explained

At risk mental state is the clinical presentation of those considered at risk of developing psychosis or schizophrenia.[1] Such states were formerly considered treated as prodromes, emerging symptoms of psychosis, but this view is no longer prevalent as a prodromal period can not be confirmed unless the emergence of the condition has occurred.

The original specialist service for those with subclinical symptoms of psychosis was The Pace Clinic[2] in Melbourne, Australia.[3] Other clinics have since developed around the world.[4] [5] [6] [7]

There has been some considerable development of how the concept can be applied clinically.[8] [9] [10] [11]

Assessed during the structured interview developed by PACE.[12]
