This tool allows you to observe and act before psychosis strikes by helping you spot the precursors of the illness, which in turn can minimize its adverse effects.
The refer-O-scope is a questionnaire that gathers information on family history, drug consumption, risk factors and any changes in functioning. The tool also provides general information about psychosis, a glossary of mental illnesses, and a list of health care and support centres.
Once you have completed the questionnaire, you will receive a recommendation that will help you explain the situation to a health care professional.
Both prevention and early intervention decrease the risks that psychosis will develop.
