Early treatment of psychotic disorders results in better outcome, and several small randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have indicated that pharmacological treatment of prodromal patients with subthreshold psychosis might prevent transition to psychotic disorders. Use of risperidone had statistically significant effect at 6 months, but not at 12 months, and olanzapine has shown only a beneficial trend. The use of antipsychotics for the prevention of psychosis is controversial due their adverse effects and, therefore, use of better-tolerated agents such as natural compounds like benzoid acid or omega fatty acids might be a promising approach.
