This approach identifies illness stages in schizophrenia, linking clinical correlates and treatment outcomes.
In this article we describe the concept of staging and apply it to schizophrenia as a way to identify the different stages in the course of the illness and link these with their neuroimaging, and hence neuropathological and clinical correlates. Identifying the stage of the illness of schizophrenia in particular patients is useful in planning treatment, establishing treatment and optimising outcomes.
