Serviços de intervenção precoce têm o potencial de melhorar o sucesso do tratamento e funcionalidade social de indivíduos com esquizofrenia

A esquizofrenia é uma doença heterogênea, progressiva e recorrente, com múltiplas dimensões que pode afetar o curso geral da doença, bem como a resposta ao tratamento.

A esquizofrenia é caracterizada por recaídas múltiplas e, após uma recaída, os pacientes podem não retornar ao seu nível anterior de função, o que pode afetar o prognóstico de curto e de longo prazo para os pacientes que vivem com a doença.

The specific benefits of early intervention are well-documented, both for the patient and broader society. These include:

  • Higher recovery rate at 1/3 of the cost of standard public mental health services1-2
  • Financial savings - of approximately €25,000 over a five-year period3
  • Improved treatment success rate - including hospital bed days4and decreased relapse rates5
  • Improvement in social functioning6-7 and in the quality of life of people living with schizophrenia and their carers5
  • Improvement in employment for people with schizophrenia - in some cases employment participation has been continuous for more than ten years8
  • Decrease of premature mortality rates9
