At risk mental state

At risk mental state is the clinical presentation of those considered at risk of developing psychosis or schizophrenia.^[1] Such states were formerly considered treated as prodromes, emerging symptoms of psychosis, but this view is no longer prevalent as a prodromal period cannot be confirmed unless the emergence of the condition has occurred.^{[citation needed]}

The original specialist service for those with subclinical symptoms of psychosis was The Pace Clinic^[2] in Melbourne, Australia.^[3] Other clinics have since developed around the world.^[4][5][6][7]

There has been some considerable development of how the concept can be applied clinically.^{[8][9][10][11]}
