- Abstract
This guideline covers recognising and managing psychosis and schizophrenia in children and young people. It aims to improve early recognition of psychosis and schizophrenia so that children and young people can be offered the treatment and care they need to live with the condition.
Last reviewed: 19 September 2024
We added links to relevant technology appraisal guidance in the sections on first episode psychosis and subsequent acute episodes of psychosis or schizophrenia. This is to provide easy access to relevant guidance at the right point in the guideline only and is not a change in practice.
In May 2024, we simplified the guideline by removing recommendations on general principles of care that are covered in other NICE guidelines (for example, the NICE guideline on service user experience in adult mental health). This is a presentational change only, and no changes to practice are intended.
Next review: We have reviewed our guidelines portfolio to identify topics that we think will add the most value to the health and care system and have agreed the update recommended in the 2023 exceptional surveillance report will not proceed as planned. We will continue to monitor this topic for new evidence.
