Continuing the Dialogue: Early Warning Signs and Early Intervention

Presenters:

Demian Rose, MD, Ph.D. and panelists

Dr. Demian Rose is a clinical instructor and head of the Prodrome Assessment Research and Treatment(PART) program in the Department of Psychiatry at UCSF.

We will be discussing what the research and our lived experience tell us about early warning signs of schizopherenia and early intervention.(Future programs will be focused on the same questions about mood disorders.) Are there early warning signs of schizophrenia? If so, what would be the most helpful responses in early stages? Is it possible to recognize mental illnesses early enough to prevent them, or reduce the severity of their symptoms? Bring your questions and ideas. Dialogue is a two way street, and we are just getting started.

Let's enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together, then listen, talk and learn together. Please join us!
