Researchers from McGill University have studied delusions in youth and young adults to understand the need for timely intervention to prevent relapse of psychosis. Delusions, which are strong beliefs that don’t align with reality, are not well understood. The study found that delusion themes can stay the same or shift between psychotic episodes. Early intervention treatment was effective in preventing relapse, emphasizing the importance of timely treatment. Recognizing patterns in delusions can help clinicians adjust care for patients. The study followed 600 patients receiving treatment for up to two years and was funded by various organizations.
