BackgroundSchizophrenia has been linked with psychological problems in childhood but there is little information on precursors of affective psychosis.AimsTo compare childhood psychological antecedents of adult schizophrenia and affective psychosis.MethodChildhood item sheets, which give standardised information on signs and symptoms of mental illness in the year preceding assessment are completed for all attendees at the children's department of the Maudsley and Bethlem Royal Hospital. We examined item sheet data on individuals with an adult diagnosis of schizophrenia (n=59) or affective psychosis (n=27) and a comparison group with no adult mental illness (n=86) (all had attended the department).ResultsAbnormal suspiciousness or sensitivity and relationship difficulties with peers are associated with later schizophrenia. In contrast, affective psychosis is associated with childhood hysterical symptoms and disturbances in eating.ConclusionsChildhood psychological precursors for schizophrenia and affective psychosis differ and do not simply reflect non-specific psychiatric disturbance in adolescence.

Formed Part

There has been a child psychiatry research group within the Institute of Psychiatry since 1952. At first it constituted a section of the Department of Psychiatry and for a while it formed part of the MRC Social Psychiatry Research Unit. However, in 1973 London University established a Chair of Child Psychiatry and since that time there has been a separate Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The research in this field undertaken up to 1967 has been described previously (Rutter, 1968a) and the present report brings the account up to date with a summary of work carried out during the last eight years.

Behavioural Aspects

Second-generation antipsychotics are used to treat a variety of psychiatric symptoms and illnesses as well as the behavioural aspects of various neurodevelopmental disorders. However, there is reluctance in using second-generation long-acting injectable antipsychotics in child psychiatry services. We present a case of a 12-year-old child whose presentation and medication regime warranted the use of aripiprazole long-acting injection against a backdrop of potential CYP P450 enzyme interactions as a consequence of polypharmacy. The case also describes the difficulties encountered working across different health sectors and agencies and highlights the ongoing need for skills-based Continuous Professional Development for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services-based nursing staff.
