Abstract:
Schizophrenic psychosis is a relatively frequent disorder with an important personal and social impact. Research shows that we currently diagnose and treat our patients too late. This approach worsens their prognosis. In this article we advocate an early intervention in the psychosis. This implies more cooperation between several disciplines. We illustrate our argumentation with a case study.
