Psychosis is characterized by a disconnection with reality, which can be influenced by genetic factors and drug use. The first episode typically manifests between the ages of 15 and 35 and can severely disrupt a person\u2019s social, family, educational and professional life. Early, specialized and intensive intervention is now widely recognized to significantly improve recovery outcomes, enabling most patients to return to a normal life in all respects. Although specialized programs are now being rolled out across the province in response, their approaches and quality can sometimes vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What if, as a young adult suffering from a first episode of psychosis, you could play a role in improving the care you receive? That\u2019s where the Rapid-learning health system for first-episode psychosis (SAR-PEP) comes in. With your help, the CHUM wants to roll out a digital platform across Quebec that collects and analyzes real-time data from patients, their families, their loved ones and healthcare teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cOur goal is to assess and improve existing programs in order to provide standardized, high-quality mental health care based on solid evidence. This innovative program is set to be implemented in all 33 clinics across Quebec that serve young adults experiencing early-onset psychosis\u2014and it\u2019s all thanks to you. We\u2019ll be able to give all young patients in Quebec an equal chance to recover.\u201d \u2014 Dr. Amal Abdel Baki, head of the CHUM\u2019s youth mental health unit<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
