Students Successfully Targeted for Early Treatment- Singapore Schizophrenia Update, February 2004 | ||||||||||
Singapore has reported on how they are targeting students for early treatment
of mental illness - which we consider an extremely well-informed decision;
the earlier that schizophrenia is treated (research suggests) the better
the outcome for the person and the lower the costs for society. One of
those rare "Win/Win" scenarios. Since the year began, counselors at the National University of Singapore have been trying to identify early on students who may be psychotic, so that they can get help and get well. People with psychosis suffer from hallucinations and could develop schizophrenia. University students were targeted as psychosis tends to strike in the
early 20s. For more information see:
