Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine synthesis capacity before onset of psychosis: a prospective [18F]-DOPA PET imaging study.

TL;DR: Findings provide evidence that the onset of frank psychosis is preceded by presynaptic dopaminergic dysfunction and further research is needed to determine the specificity of elevated dopamine synthesis capacity to particular psychotic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

The long-term outcome of Maudsley depressives.

TL;DR: Patients at the psychotic end of the continuum were more likely to be readmitted and to have very poor outcomes, and there was a high incidence of other disorders (schizoaffective disorder, alcoholism, schizophrenia).
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychotic experiences in the general population: A twenty-year prospective community study

TL;DR: The causes of and pathways to clinical psychotic disorder can be studied long before the disorder becomes clinically relevant, and individuals with a persistently high level of either of the two identified symptom dimensions over 20 years experienced significant deficiencies in social achievement and functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Myth of Schizophrenia as a Progressive Brain Disease

TL;DR: Mental health professionals need to join with patients and their families in understanding that schizophrenia is not a malignant disease that inevitably deteriorates over time but rather one from which most people can achieve a substantial degree of recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebral ventricular size in twins discordant for schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Some common environmental factor, possibly perinatal damage, may have led to the increase in ventricular size in the schizophrenia-discordant pairs, with schizophrenia developing in the more severely affected twin.
