Although the recommendations for the management of psychosis are clearly established in adults, the situation is quite different in the juvenile population. In spite of everything, the importance of setting-up early stage neuroleptic treatment has been established to improve the prognosis of evolution by decreasing the Duration of Untreated Psychosis. However, making the diagnosis is not always easy, the prodromal symptomatology proving most often nonspecific, like the medical management, sometimes leading to extreme situations such as the use of Clozapine in children to allow its maintenance in their home and school environment.
