New Guideline: Psychosis and schizophrenia in adults
This guideline covers the treatment and management of psychosis and
schizophrenia and related disorders in adults (18 years and older) with
onset before 60 years. The term 'psychosis' is used in this guideline to
refer to the group of psychotic disorders that includes schizophrenia,
schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder and delusional
disorder. The recognition, treatment and management of affective
psychoses (such as bipolar disorder or unipolar psychotic depression)
are covered by other NICE guidelines. The guideline does not address the
specific treatment of young people under the age of 18 years, except
those who are receiving treatment and support from early intervention in
psychosis services; there is a separate NICE guideline on psychosis and schizophrenia in children and young people.

Offer talking therapies to people at risk of psychosis and schizophrenia
Offer talking therapies to people at risk of psychosis and schizophrenia
People considered to be at increased risk of developing psychosis should be offered cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) as opposed to antipsychotic medication, according to updated guidelines from NICE.
Around 1 in 100 people will develop psychosis and schizophrenia over the course of a lifetime. In most cases a first episode of psychosis is preceded by a ‘prodromal period', where a person may exhibit a range of behavioural and psychological symptom. These include shortened attention spans, short periods of low intensity psychotic symptoms, withdrawal, and displays unusual behaviour and ideas.

The NHS should provide greater help and support to the relatives and carers of people with psychosis or schizophrenia. In wide-ranging updated guidance on treating and managing psychosis and schizophrenia in adults, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says carers' needs should be assessed to ensure they get the right level of support.
Among a number of new recommendations in the updated guideline, NICE says service users should be offered support from people who have recovered from psychosis or schizophrenia. It adds that clinicians should also consider giving advice to people with psychosis or schizophrenia to manage their condition. This should include information and advice about effective use of medication, identifying and managing symptoms, accessing mental health and other support services, coping with stress and other problems, what to do in a crisis and preventing relapse as well as setting personal recovery goals.
