Summary

This study tracks 217 people after their first psychotic episode to see if language patterns and blood markers can predict whether they will develop bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Participants give a recorded interview and blood sample at the start, then are followed for two years. The goal is to speed up accurate diagnosis and improve treatment choices.

What this could mean

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors quickly identify the right type of psychosis, leading to faster, more personalized treatment and fewer relapses.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not be definitive or widely applicable, and it will take years to see if the biomarkers are reliable.
