Beyond Treatment and Diagnosis: Investigating the Depth and Geographic Distribution of Research on Holistic Recovery for First-Episode Psychosis Patients
(The Ohio State University, 2025-03-04) Pulluri, S. Snehil; Seiber, Eric
First-Episode Psychosis (FEP) refers to individuals early in the course of a psychotic illness or treatment for psychotic symptoms. This intervention period is especially critical in supporting the clinical recovery of patients. However, there is limited research examining non-clinical topics, such as social functioning, quality of life, employment, and social inclusion, for individuals treated for FEP in the United States. Understanding non-clinical impairments, behaviors, and life outcomes is crucial for enhancing comprehensive care that supports the overall reintegration of patients into society. This descriptive review aims to identify geographic trends in how these factors have been studied in patients treated for First-Episode Psychosis
(FEP). A search strategy was developed using a search of the term "First-Episode Psychosis" on Google Scholar to gather the 500 most relevant results, irrespective of researcher nationality or geographical context. Following this, studies addressing non-clinical life outcomes were categorized into 8 subtopics and analyzed based on geographic distribution between these categories. The results suggest that the United States lags behind countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada in non-clinical first-episode psychosis (FEP) research. Strengthening U.S. research in these domains could drive policy change by demonstrating service needs, potentially justifying further expansion of holistic care models like Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC)
