As Prescribed - UCSF works to get ahead of psychosis in young adults

Dan Mathalon, Clinical Director of the UCSF Path Program for Early Psychosis, was interviewed by the KCBS Radio as part of the "As Prescribed" podcast about the importance of addressing psychosis in in early stages. "The longer psychotic symptoms persisted without treatment after a first onset of symptoms, the worse the response to treatment and the worse the outcomes for the patients, which really highlighted the importance of early identification and diagnosis and early initiation of treatment," he said. Mathalon explained that the United States has failed in the past to preserve brain function rather than wait for patients to decline until help is necessary. UCSF's Path Program is working to right this wrong in care — to create easy access to treatment for patients and their families in the midst of their first psychotic episode. The program even helps patients identify warning signs of a possible impending psychosis. https://pathprogram.ucsf.edu/
