| Popis: | Recent reports suggest that a symptomatic state that is often prodromal to schizophrenia can be identified prospectively. We examined treatment-seeking histories and psychiatric services received among patients with a syndrome similar to a prodromal state. The records of 47 patients who met the criteria for a prodromal state were reviewed. Most patients had previously sought and received psychiatric services (90 percent), including medications (64 percent), and 51 percent had previously received a psychiatric diagnosis. These data suggest that patients who present with a syndrome putatively prodromal to schizophrenia constitute a clinical population. Research into treatment interventions is indicated. |
