Study of early psychosis and treatments
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- You have been diagnosed with a psychotic disorder (like schizophrenia, bipolar I with psychotic features, or major depression with psychosis) and symptoms started within the last 4 years

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.
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.
This study tests whether a cognitive training program can help young adults with recent psychosis improve their thinking and memory skills. It involves brain scans and cognitive exercises.
This study follows people who have recently been diagnosed with a first episode of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or are at ultra-high risk for psychosis. Researchers want to learn more about how these conditions develop over time to improve early care and treatment.
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 builds a database of brain-signal measurements to help find “biomarkers” that may point to schizophrenia or related mental illnesses. Depending on whether you have a mental health diagnosis or you’re healthy, the study will collect information and brain data to compare groups.
