WHY: The first 3 - 5 years after the onset of psychosis is known as the "critical period". The objective of early intervention during this period is recovery. Recovery can be broken into (1) the remission of symptoms and (2) recovery in areas like work, leisure and self confidence. Interventions to maximise recovery in the early phase of psychosis are offered in early interventions services. These include psychological and family programmes.
