Psychosis in childhood and adolescence. Psychopathology and differential diagnoses

Psychosis in childhood and adolescence is rare. Psychotic manifestations in childhood are associated with diagnostic diversities. The diagnostic group pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) are often used in childhood and may be a precursor of schizophrenia or affective psychosis. In this short review, expressions of psychosis in childhood and adolescence are listed and discussed. The authors speak in favour of a closer collaboration between child- and adolescent psychiatry and adult psychiatry clinically as well as in research contexts to expand the knowledge about the genesis and aetiology of psychoses.
