cognitive behavioural therapy    CBT        UK

Psychosis is an umbrella term

for a collection of symptoms.

These symptoms get classed

as "positive" or "negative",

which is not to infer

that some are good

and some are bad,

but rather to capture the fact

that some of the symptoms

add something new

and others take something away.

Positive symptoms

are those that add

an unusual experience of some kind,

eg seeing things that others can't

(hallucinations)

or strongly believing things

that don't make sense to others

(delusions).

Negative symptoms involve

something being taken away

from the person,

eg a lack of enjoyment (anhedonia),

motivation (avolition),

or a lack of emotion.

There are two types of anti-psychotic drugs:

the older, typical drugs, known as neuroleptics,

and the newer, atypical kind such as

olanzapine, risperidone and clozapine.

The newer ones are recommended

because they tend to carry fewer side-effects.

Between 0.25 per cent

and 1 per cent of the population

is thought to have schizophrenia,

which is slightly more common in men

and peaks in the early twenties.

Treating patients costs £1 billion a year,

about 3 per cent of all NHS expenditure.

Controlling symptoms is very important.

They can include hallucinations, delusions

and apathy or withdrawal from society.

Clozapine is usually given

after other drugs have failed to control

what is known as treatment-resistant schizophrenia,

which affects around 30 per cent of patients.

About 20,000 patients are on the drug,

but experts believe at least 17,000 more should be.
