TL;DR: The relatively new field of HR research in psychosis has the potential to shed light on the development of major psychotic disorders and to alter their course and provides a rationale for service provision to those in need of help who could not previously access it.

TL;DR: Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci within genes that show heightened expression in the brain throughout the lifespan, beginning prenatally in the second trimester, and play prominent roles in neurodevelopmental processes.

TL;DR: A differential predictive clinical model of transition to first-episode psychosis is developed that identified an increased risk of psychosis with appropriate prognostic accuracy in a sample of help-seeking patients.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided evidence-based recommendations on early intervention in clinical high risk (CHR) states of psychosis, assessed according to the EPA guidance on early detection, derived from a meta-analysis of current empirical evidence on the efficacy of psychological and pharmacological interventions in CHR samples.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis from two independent OCD consortia, investigating a total of 2688 individuals of European ancestry with OCD and 7037 genomically matched controls, concludes that the largest single OCD genome-wide study to date represents a major integrative step in elucidating the genetic causes of OCD.
