Psychosis affects between 1% and 3% of the population, and typically emerges between the ages of 15 and 30. Psychosis risk syndrome is a critical time period when individuals are showing signs that they are at risk for developing a psychotic illness. Our clinical research program offers early identification and intervention for youth at high risk for psychosis. We are conducting prospective longitudinal studies of biomarkers (neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and genetics) that may allow us to better predict outcomes.
