Study brain and symptoms in youth with early psychosis
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how psychosis symptoms and development change over time in children and teens. It may help doctors better understand different patterns of illness and how to support young people with these disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 7–20, and your psychosis symptoms started between ages 7–17
- You’ve been hospitalized or seen as an outpatient for a psychotic episode (acute or long-lasting)
- A doctor has given you one of these diagnoses: schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, brief psychosis, unspecified psychosis, or depression with psychosis
- You can participate in consent: a parent/guardian signs, and you sign too if you’re able (especially if symptoms are more stable)
- You (and any participating family for genetics) have health coverage from France’s Social Security, not AME
- You do not have these exclusions: IQ under 50, psychosis caused by another illness/drugs/medicines, bipolar disorder, or you are under legal guardianship

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 study tests how a “patient guide” (Patientheque) may help young people who are either having a first psychosis episode or showing early warning signs. It aims to support care decisions and reduce stress by improving understanding and follow-up.
This study looks at how young people experience mental health clinic care and how that relates to health outcomes. You may be invited if you are starting care in an adolescent mental health clinic.
This study checks whether a structured family intervention helps caregivers support a person with schizophrenia or a first psychotic episode. You may be asked to take part in a step-by-step program and answer questions to see if it works better than usual care.
This study builds a database and collects samples (like blood) from people with schizophrenia to learn more about the condition. If you join, you help researchers understand schizophrenia better, which may lead to improved treatments.
This study is testing a new French version of a questionnaire (SPI-CY) that helps doctors better understand early signs of psychosis in teenagers. If you are 12 to 17 and already being checked for these signs, you may be able to help improve the tool.
