Abstract

In this article, we describe why we consider it important to stage cases of schizophrenia. Treatment in the three stages of Schizophrenia, that is: the At risk Mental State; the first episode and three year critical period; and the phase of Chronic Schizophrenia is different. We also describe how MRI studies provide the view of anatomical changes which underpin the stages.
