Childhood psychosis is a complex problem. The cases of any developmental deviations in children deserve its consideration. This type of child will need a multidisciplined approach involving the medical profession and those para-professionals in the educational area. The use of medication appears to be an important factor so that various other attempts at thereapy, such as speech, art, and education, can be better appreciated. Whether the child should also be labeled mentally retarded or not depends on the available facilities such as a residential center. It appears that with early detection and the start of appropriate doses of medication, that secondary mental retardation can be prevented and the deterioration to a more severe psychosis averted. Whether the psychotic picture in the long-term outlook can be stopped remains to be seen.
儿童期精神病是一个复杂的问题。儿童任何发育偏差的病例都值得关注。这类儿童需要一种多学科方法，涉及医学专业人员以及教育领域的准专业人员。药物治疗似乎是一个重要因素，这样才能更好地理解诸如言语、艺术和教育等其他各种治疗尝试。是否应给儿童贴上智力迟钝的标签取决于是否有诸如寄宿中心等可用设施。似乎通过早期发现和开始使用适当剂量的药物，可以预防继发性智力迟钝，并避免病情恶化为更严重的精神病。从长远来看，精神病症状能否得到控制还有待观察。
