Prospective study of prodromal symptoms in schizophrenic relapse
DW Heinrichs and WT Carpenter Jr
The authors examined the type and frequency of prodromal symptoms in 47
cases of schizophrenic relapse during which 30 patients were drug free and
17 were medicated. The findings indicate that clinicians who use patient
and family reports can identify prodromal symptoms as they occur.
