<unk>  is a clinical approach to those experiencing symptoms of<unk>  for the first time. It forms part of a new prevention paradigm for psychiatry and is leading to reform of mental health services, especially in the United Kingdom and Australia. This approach centers on the<unk>  detection and treatment of<unk>  symptoms of<unk>  during the formative years of the psychotic condition. The first three to five years are believed by some to be a critical period. The aim is to reduce the usual delays to treatment for those in their first episode of<unk> . The provision of optimal treatments in these<unk>  years is thought to prevent relapses and reduce the long-term impact of the condition. It is considered a secondary prevention strategy. The duration of untreated<unk>  (DUP) has been shown as an indicator of prognosis, with a longer DUP associated with more long-term disability.
