Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome
Resources for Patients and Caregivers
The DSM-5 has listed attenuated psychosis syndrome (APS) as a “condition for future study.” APS can involve mild delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech, with relatively intact reality testing in the absence of a clear psychotic disorder, and has been thought to be a risk state for later schizophrenia

- Suicidal thinking and behavior in young people at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis: Psychopathological considerations and treatment response across a 2-year follow-up studyby Lorenzo Pelizza on October 19, 2024
CONCLUSION: Addressing disorganization is crucial for suicide prevention in the CHR-P population. Continuous risk monitoring and preventive actions are needed for those with past suicide attempts.
- Service users perspectives on psychosis-risk terminology: An Italian study on labeling terms preferences and stigmaby Tommaso Boldrini on October 11, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Findings support ARMS as a useful and acceptable term in clinical practice with young people, while UHR is associated with the highest stigma. CPR is promising and should be tested in cross-cultural studies. In Italy, there is an urgent need for improving literacy on prevention in mental health.

- Investigating changes in the premotor cortex-derived frontal-striatal-thalamic subcircuit in attenuated psychosis syndromeby Naoyuki Katagiri on August 28, 2024
Frontal-striatal-thalamic circuit impairment is presumed to underlie schizophrenia. Individuals with attenuated psychosis syndrome (APS) show longitudinal volume reduction of the putamen in the striatum, which has a neural connection with the premotor cortex through the frontal-striatal-thalamic subcircuit. However, comprehensive investigations into the biological changes in the frontal-striatal-thalamic subcircuit originating from the premotor cortex in APS are lacking. We investigated...
