At risk mental state is the clinical presentation of those considered at risk of developing psychosis or schizophrenia. [1] Such states were formerly considered treated as prodromes, emerging symptoms of psychosis, but this view is no longer prevalent as a prodromal period cannot be confirmed unless the emergence of the condition has occurred. [2]
The original specialist service for those with subclinical symptoms of psychosis was The Pace Clinic [3] in Melbourne, Australia. [4] Other clinics have since developed around the world. [5] [6] [7] [8]
There has been some considerable development of how the concept can be applied clinically. [9] [10] [11] [12]
