Description:
The detection of psychosis and its prodrome have unique considerations in a child and adolescent population. Young people attending CAMHS are already a high‐risk group, which confers significant limitations in applying the current clinical high‐risk (CHR) model. This has catalysed calls for a transdiagnostic approach to psychosis risk prediction, but without a clear pathway forward. We contribute to the debate opened by Salazar de Pablo and Arango (2023, Child and Adolescent Mental Health) on the role of CAMHS in this initiative. CAMHS have a key role in developing comprehensive longitudinal datasets to inform risk models. Closer integration with early intervention in psychosis (EIP) services will be needed to realise this potential. This integration is also required to reliably detect prodromes and emerging psychosis in young people. Where there is robust evidence to support prevention initiatives, we should proceed with their implementation, even in the absence of enhanced risk models.
