Checking new support for a first psychosis, no prior medication
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at people having a first psychotic episode who have not yet taken anti-psychotic medicine. It aims to see whether an early support approach can help, before other treatments become necessary.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 35 years old.
- You have a mental health diagnosis such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophreniform disorder.
- You have never taken anti-psychotic (anti-psychosis) medication before.
- You can take part in hospital or outpatient follow-up and can give written consent.
- A physical check finds no major medical problems.

This study uses brain scans to look at how a specific brain area works in schizophrenia. If you qualify, it may help researchers better understand the brain changes linked to symptoms.
This study uses brain scans (PET and MRI) to see how a specific receptor, called D3, is affected by antipsychotic medications in people with schizophrenia. You may be able to participate if you have not taken antipsychotics for at least 3 weeks and are not using nicotine products.
This study looks at people who have had psychosis for less than 4 years to understand how their symptoms change over time and how they respond to treatment. By using brain scans and other tests, researchers hope to find better ways to personalize care for early psychosis.
This early (Phase 1) study uses a special brain scan to look at synapses—the contact points between brain cells—in people with schizophrenia-related conditions. It helps researchers understand brain activity and connection patterns, which may guide future tests or treatments.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can improve brain connections in people with schizophrenia. It involves two types of MRI scans and several TMS sessions to see if it can help with thinking and symptoms.
This study follows people who were part of an earlier research trial about medication management during their first psychotic episode. Researchers want to understand how those early treatment choices affected their recovery over the past 20 years.
