We examined the association between visual hallucinations, functioning, and suicidality over the course of illness in first-episode psychosis (10-year follow-up).

Regjeringen og Stortinget kan fjerne barrierer som hindrer pasientene i å oppsøke legehjelp. Sårbare grupper bør få slippe å betale egenandeler.

“A good life with psychosis” over 2/3rds experiences self-rated positive outcomes 10 years after FEP. Important work by Carmen Simonsen IEPA #iepa14 TIPS Sør-Øst NORMENT
