default Current treatments for early psychosis

Current treatments for early psychosis are a combination of medication and psychosocial intervention (e.g. therapy and practical support).

However, current medications have a range of undesirable side effects such as sedation, weight gain and impairment of sexual function. Even with the best possible care, some people with early psychosis do not make a full recovery.

In this video Associate Professor James Scott describes the current treatments for early psychosis.
