Neuroimaging of Schizophrenia and Other Primary Psychotic Disorders

Abstract

The prodromal state of schizophrenia has excited the attention of researchers since the 1990s. The long-term course of schizophrenia increases the individual burden to caregivers and causes considerable financial costs to society. With early detection and intervention in schizophrenia, it might be possible to decrease the risk of irreversible deterioration after continual relapses.
