MGHPGR: Lecture in Schizophrenia: Risk Factors, Biomarkers and Novel Treatment Approaches in Early Psychosis

The 10th Donald C. Goff, M.D., Lecture in Schizophrenia: Risk Factors, Biomarkers and Novel Treatment Approaches in Early Psychosis

The lecture will focus on the prodromal and first episode of psychosis by discussing 1) important insights into risk factors for conversion to full psychotic illness, 2) the development of “Psychosis Risk Calculators”, 3) biomarkers linked to psychosis risk and 4) evidence of dynamic brain changes that are likely present before the onset of illness and continue to evolve into first episode psychosis. The use of biomarkers in the study of early psychosis can contribute to: 1) a greater understanding of the mechanism by which psychosis evolves, 2) the development of diagnostic markers to more accurately identify those at highest risk, 3) individualized treatment, 4) translational research and 5) mechanistic surrogate endpoints in treatment studies.

Target Audience

This program is intended for: Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Fellows, Residents, Interns and Nurses

Learning Objectives

At the end of this presentation participants will be able to:

  1. List risk factors for psychosis
  2. Identify biomarkers for psychosis linked to neuropathological mechanisms
  3. Discuss interventions linked to risk factors and mechanism of illness
