Overview

Experts discuss the potential of early intervention to transform outcomes for people with mental disorders.

Mental illness represents one of the largest disease burdens worldwide, yet treatments have been largely ineffective in improving the quality of life for millions of affected individuals—in part because approaches taken have focused on late-stage disorders in adulthood. This volume shifts the focus by placing the developmental stage of “youth” at the center of mental health. The contributors challenge current nosology, explore mechanisms that underlie the emergence of mental disorders, and propose a framework to guide early intervention. Offering recommendations for the future, the book holds that early intervention in youth has the potential to transform outcomes for people with mental disorders and to reconfigure the landscape of mental health.

The contributors discuss epidemiology, classification, and diagnostic issues, including the benefits of clinical staging; the context for emerging mental disorders, including both biological and sociocultural processes; biological mechanisms underlying risk for psychopathology, including aspects of neural circuitry; and developing and implementing prevention and early intervention, including assessment and intervention modalities and knowledge translation in early treatment of schizophrenia.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

With 'youth health' as a fresh paradigm for innovative mental health science, the book summarizes best evidence and wise counsel beyond a bio-psycho-social view of early intervention. Interleaving ethical, population, and systems factors, the authors present a compelling case for applied science as a social investment to transcend the constraints of current health care organizations. A must-read.

Peter B. Jones, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge; Past-President IEPA: Early Intervention in Mental Health

The authors of this impressive book are a veritable 'who's who' of researchers in the area of youth mental health. Beautifully written and comprehensive, this volume could serve as a core text for those who are studying in this area but is also suitable for nonscientists. A genuine game changer.

Mary Cannon, Psychiatrist, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland; coauthor of The Mental Health of Young People in IrelandThe Epidemiology of Psychosis, and Journey Through the Brain

Over the past three decades, conventional views of mental illness have yielded few novel therapeutics and have done little to shorten the tragically long ten-year gap between onset of illness and treatment. This team of world-renowned scientists uses a hammer forged by recent advances in developmental neuroscience to shatter conventional paradigms and elucidate a path toward new and better interventions.

Jay N. Giedd, Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego
