Most of them had nonspecific symptoms of anxiety, emotional

lability, irritability, etc. In half of the cases were reported weight

loss, insomnia and several variations of the usual behavior in

recent days.

Discussion

The most important variable is to analyze the reason

for consultation. Moreover, substance abuse and a combination of

prodromal symptoms including positive and other nonspecific are

detected. Furthermore, at the profile with possible demands, we

believe it is appropriate not to delaymental health assessment after

making the appropriate intervention.

Introduction

The acute psychotic episode have often a dramatic

expression. Although it is easily diagnosed, it is not easy to predict

the evolution and much less the prognosis that are of concern both

for the therapist and the patients’ families.

Aims

To describe the profile of a population of patientswith a first

psychotic episode. To identify factors correlated with evolution to

schizophrenia.

Methods

This is a retrospective study conducted among 55

patients hospitalized for a first acute psychotic episode, in the psy-

chiatry B department during the period extending between January

2010 and December 2015.

Results

The average age of patients was 26.5. The majority was

single male. The prodromal phase was present with predominantly

psychotic symptoms (80%). Schizophrenia was the most frequently

encountered scalable diagnosis (38%). Some factors are associ-

ated with the evolution to schizophrenia. We can mention male

gender (

P

= 0.004) and premorbid schizoid personality (

P

= 0.047).

About correlated clinical factors, we have found an initial sym-

ptomatology dominated by loss of interest (

P

= 0.05), withdrawal

and isolation (

P

= 0.017), impulsivity (

P

= 0.011), breaking with

the usual functioning (

P

= 0.04), mental automatism (

P

= 0.033),

the delusions of persecution (

P

= 0.025) and intuitive mechanism

(

P

= 0.023).

Conclusion

When a first acute delusional experience occurs in

a young adult, it is always a test of uncertain outcome. How-

ever, schizophrenia remains the most feared evolutionary. A better

understanding of poor prognosis and early and appropriate man-

agement seem paramount to reduce the prevalence of this dreaded

evolution.

Introduction

Treatment resistance is considered a challeng-

ing problem of antipsychotic pharmacotherapy in schizophrenia,

especially, when it is associated with other factors, such as cul-

tural aspects, diverse clinical presentation, furthermore functional

impact. Then, combination approaches are commonly used, for

instance, the add-on of aripiprazole to clozapine; which allows

increasing of efficacy and safety.

Objective

Assess the response to clozapine–aripiprazole combi-

nation treatment in the management of resistant schizophrenia.

Aim

Treatment of resistant schizophrenia.

Method

Analysis of a clinical case.

Result

A 27-year-old male resident in an Iberian country two

years ago, is from a Latin American country, lives with his mother,

his sister and his nephew. Their parents were separated. Eight years

ago, his father died and shortly thereafter, he started impaired

behavior, auditory and visual hallucinations, delusions about ref-

erentiality, persecution and prejudice, which required a brief

hospitalization in their country. Upon arrival, he is included in

the network of Mental Health, with positive symptoms, significant

behavioral and cognitive disorganization and he needed hospi-

talization again. Then, treatment is instituted in different lines

with risperidone, quetiapine, olanzapine, haloperidol, amisulpride,

without results. Then, combined clozapine therapy is initiated up

to 400mg/day, more aripiprazole 20mg/day, which switch after to

pattern injectable depot, with informed consent. Six months after,

he presents encapsulated delirium and improvement of disorgani-

zation, allowing the patient to retake studies.

Conclusion

Clozapine–aripiprazole combination was associated

with 22% reduction of clozapine dose. There was improvement in

positive and negative symptoms, social functions and amelioration

in their metabolic profile.

Reducing diabetes type 2 risk in

non-selected outpatients with

schizophrenia, a thirty-month

program

Denmark

Introduction

Diabetes type 2 is 2–3 foldmore common in patients

with schizophrenia compared to the general population. A lifestyle

with focus on diet, exercise and medication is required to prevent

complications from diabetes type 2.

Objectives

Patients may have trouble complying with a well-

structured and healthy lifestyle because of factors related to their

illness e.g. cognitive disturbances, negative/positive symptoms and

treatment with psychotropic medication.

Aims

To measure and reduce diabetes type 2 risk factors in

patients and examine characteristics associatedwith a positive out-

come.

Methods

A naturalistic intervention study through 30 months of

clinical work with individual guidance, group sessions and treat-

ment as usual.

Results

At index, the newly diagnosed patients had a high con-

sumption of soft drinks and low physical activity. Over time, the

newly diagnosed patients worsened their physical profile with

increased weight, waist circumference, visceral adiposity index

(

P

= 0.030) and HbA1c (

P

= 0.010). HbA1c increased for newly diag-

nosed male patients with 0.24m.mol/L (

P

= 0.007). The long-term

patient’s physical activity level was low. After the intervention,
