Program Overview
Schizophrenia is typically a chronic mental illness whose full symptoms - including hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and social withdrawal - become evident in early adulthood. In many cases of adult-onset schizophrenia, nonspecific disturbances in cognition and socialization may be evident in young patients. Less common, but more severe, presentations of schizophrenia include Early Onset Schizophrenia (EOS) and Very Early Onset Schizophrenia (VEOS) whose full symptoms become evident at ages 13-18 and prior to age 13, respectively. These diagnoses have significant implications for childhood development and drug treatment. This activity will increase the clinician's awareness and ability to assist in the management of patients with these disorders.
