TL;DR: It is suggested that patients with schizophrenia or FEP with a history of cannabis use have superior neuropsychological functioning compared with nonusing patients and this association between better cognitive performance and cannabis use in schizophrenia may be driven by a subgroup of "neurocognitively less impaired" patients.

TL;DR: If prospective studies confirm the validity of the recently developed bipolar at-risk criteria, then the criteria would have the potential to open up new avenues of research for indicated prevention in BD and might therefore offer opportunities to ameliorate the severity of, or even prevent BD.

TL;DR: Prefrontal neuronal dysfunction is an inconsistent feature of early psychosis; rather, it is an early marker of poor prognosis across the first years of illness.

TL;DR: The department of psychiatry of the Hospital University Centre has established a guideline on the clinical monitoring of patients receiving atypical antipsychotics, based on recently published consensus, which will be presented here.

TL;DR: Investigating seasonality in symptom onset and service admissions over a period of 10 years provides further evidence that systems mediating the entrainment of biological rhythms to the environment may be more pronounced in BPAD than in schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia.
