In recent years, there has been growing concerns over the alarming global prevalence of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, psychosis amongst other neurological disorders. Interestingly, while genome-wide association studies have linked these disorders to genomic and epigenetic interactions within the cellular organization; other studies have made allusions to non-biological variables like socio–demographic differences amongst individuals.
In this review, the author discusses the previous researches focused on the prevention of the diverse shades of psychosis via evaluating the myriad of prodromal signs during the adolescent phase of human development.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The review begins by providing an overview of psychotic disorders, outlining their history, classification, and key characteristics. It then delves into the complex interplay of biological and environmental factors that contribute to their development. The author explores the concept of prodromal psychosis, which refers to the early warning signs that can precede the onset of full-blown psychosis. Various models for investigating prodromal psychosis are discussed, including the importance of educational interventions in early detection and prevention.
Schlüsselwörter (Keywords)

It examines the role of socio-demographic factors, biological mechanisms, and educational interventions in addressing the challenges posed by psychotic disorders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is meant by "psychosis prodrome"?
Psychosis prodrome refers to the early signs and symptoms that occur before the onset of full-blown psychotic disorders, such as changes in behavior, sleep, or social withdrawal.
Why is the adolescent phase important for psychosis prevention?
Adolescence is a critical period of brain development where most mental disorders begin to manifest. Identifying prodromal signs during this phase allows for early intervention and potentially better outcomes.
Are psychotic disorders purely biological?
While genome-wide studies link these disorders to genetics, this review also highlights non-biological variables like socio-demographic differences and environmental factors.
What was the case study in Ile-Ife, Osun State about?
The case study examined the prevalence and identification of psychosis prodromes among in-school adolescents in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, to understand local mental health challenges.
Can education help in addressing psychosis prodromes?
Yes, educational interventions and awareness within schools are vital for early detection, helping teachers and students recognize warning signs and seek professional help sooner.
