Abstract
Approximately 2% of adolescents and young adults display symptoms indicating a high risk for psychotic disorders. Apart from a risk of 20-35% of developing a psychotic disorder, these individuals show high rates of persisting mental health problems and functional impairment, even in the absence of a psychotic transition. Treatment in specialized centers can improve outcomes in these patients, but the need to provide timely access to care needs to be balanced against the risks of premature psychiatrization, stigmatization and unnecessary medication treatment. The transcantonal project PsyYoung aims to optimize early detection in young people, while at the same time minimizing unnecessary psychiatrization. This will be achieved through improved networking across the entire care chain and a stepped-care intervention approach.
