You say “schizophrenia” and I say “psychosis”: Just tell me when I can come off this medication

Individuals experiencing a first episode of psychosis are likely to respond well to treatment with antipsychotic medications. Of those treated for a first episode of schizophrenia, three out of four can expect to achieve remission. The question of how long antipsychotic medication should be continued has been a topic of heated debate in the field. Longitudinal studies of individuals diagnosed with a first episode of psychosis have reported that as many as 30% may be able to come off of medications without relapsing while treatment discontinuation studies have found that very few patients remain in remission off of medication. This paper reviews the literature on relapse rates following a first episode of schizophrenia and identifies factors that contribute to the discrepancies in the rates reported. These factors include sampling considerations, the distribution of psychiatric diagnoses, the duration of follow-up, the rate of medication discontinuation and the criteria used to define illness recurrence. We propose that individuals for whom the diagnosis of their first psychotic episode is determined with ongoing follow-up to be due to schizophrenia are at extremely high risk of relapse and should be advised to continue antipsychotic medication for the long-term. Those whose first episode of psychosis is determined to be due to other causes are also at high risk of illness recurrence off medications. Recommendations for maintenance treatment should be tailored to reflect the risk of relapse and sequelae of relapse associated with specific causes of first episode psychosis.

你说“精神分裂症”,我说“精神病”:告诉我什么时候可以停用这种药物

经历首次精神病发作的个体可能对抗精神病药物治疗反应良好。在接受首次精神分裂症治疗的患者中,四分之三的患者有望获得缓解。抗精神病药物应该持续多久的问题一直是该领域激烈争论的话题。对被诊断为首次精神病发作的个体进行的纵向研究报告称,多达 30% 的人可能能够在不复发的情况下停止药物治疗,而停止治疗的研究发现,很少有患者在药物治疗后仍处于缓解状态。本文回顾了关于精神分裂症首次发作后复发率的文献,并确定了导致报告率差异的因素。这些因素包括抽样考虑、精神病诊断的分布、随访时间、停药率和用于定义疾病复发的标准。我们建议,通过持续随访确定其首次精神病发作的诊断是由于精神分裂症引起的个体复发风险极高,应建议长期继续服用抗精神病药物。那些第一次精神病发作被确定是由其他原因引起的人,在药物治疗后疾病复发的风险也很高。维持治疗的建议应调整以反映与首发精神病的特定原因相关的复发风险和复发后遗症。停药率和用于定义疾病复发的标准。我们建议,通过持续随访确定其首次精神病发作的诊断是由于精神分裂症引起的个体复发风险极高,应建议长期继续服用抗精神病药物。那些第一次精神病发作被确定是由其他原因引起的人,在药物治疗后疾病复发的风险也很高。维持治疗的建议应调整以反映与首发精神病的特定原因相关的复发风险和复发后遗症。停药率和用于定义疾病复发的标准。我们建议,通过持续随访确定其首次精神病发作的诊断是由于精神分裂症引起的个体复发风险极高,应建议长期继续服用抗精神病药物。那些第一次精神病发作被确定是由其他原因引起的人,在药物治疗后疾病复发的风险也很高。维持治疗的建议应调整以反映与首发精神病的特定原因相关的复发风险和复发后遗症。我们建议,通过持续随访确定其首次精神病发作的诊断是由于精神分裂症引起的个体复发风险极高,应建议长期继续服用抗精神病药物。那些第一次精神病发作被确定是由其他原因引起的人,在药物治疗后疾病复发的风险也很高。维持治疗的建议应调整以反映与首发精神病的特定原因相关的复发风险和复发后遗症。我们建议,通过持续随访确定其首次精神病发作的诊断是由于精神分裂症引起的个体复发风险极高,应建议长期继续服用抗精神病药物。那些第一次精神病发作被确定是由其他原因引起的人,在药物治疗后疾病复发的风险也很高。维持治疗的建议应调整以反映与首发精神病的特定原因相关的复发风险和复发后遗症。
