Current versus recently resolved attenuated psychotic symptoms: Same level of risk for transition to psychosis?

While the at-risk for psychosis mental state approach to identifying emergent psychotic disorders has been catalytic in driving clinical research for youth populations, calls have been made to rethink the operationalisation of the construct (McGorry et al., 2018). The rationale for this is in part due to studies indicating a declining rate of transition to psychosis in recent years, reducing from around 40% in initial research, down to ~10% in more recent work (Morrison et al., 2012).
