Abstract

This chapter provides a summary of a landmark study in child and adolescent psychiatry that addresses the treatment of youth with psychotic disorders. Are second generation antipsychotics superior to first generation antipsychotics in the treatment of earlyonset schizophrenia spectrum disorders? Starting with that question, it describes the basics of the study, including funding, study locations, who was studied, how many patients, study design, study intervention, followup, endpoints including treatment response and adverse events, results, and criticism and limitations. No differences in symptom change were found between groups, but each group had a specific set of adverse events that distinguished it. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, discusses implications, and concludes with a relevant clinical case.
