Key Points

This study investigates the differences in clinical and sociodemographic characteristics between young adults with early psychosis categorized by cannabis use.
Retrospective chart review of 509 patients aged 18-35 with early psychosis at FRITZ Early Intervention Center between December 2016 and September 2021.
Evaluated sociodemographic factors (age, sex, etc.) and clinical features (duration of untreated psychosis, treatment motivation, etc.).
42.6% diagnosed with non-substance-induced psychotic disorder (NSIPD), 33.3% with cannabis-induced psychotic disorder (CIPD), and 7% with concurrent cannabis use (NSIPD+C).
NSIPD showed longer treatment duration and higher motivation compared to CIPD and NSIPD+C.
No significant sociodemographic differences or variations in duration of untreated psychosis across groups.
