A history of obstetric complications is associated with the risk of progression from an at risk mental state to psychosis
Clinical criteria for diagnosing Clinical High Risk for psychosis are now available. However, an understanding of the factors modulating the risk of subsequent development of frank psychosis in “at risk” individuals remains elusive. The aim of the study was to identify associations between obstetric history and the development of psychotic disorders in individuals with an At Risk Mental State (ARMS).
