## Resource

In this episode, Dr. Andy Cutler talks with Dr. Robert Cotes about optimizing outcomes in early psychosis and why the first episode is a critical window for intervention. They discuss the impact of duration of untreated psychosis, recovery trajectories after a first episode, and what to measure beyond symptom reduction—including functional outcomes, cognition, and relapse risk. The conversation also highlights strategies for engaging young adults and families in coordinated specialty care, early identification of clinical high risk for psychosis, and innovations aimed at improving long-term recovery.
