Episode Summary

In this episode of the Better Edge podcast, (Yu) Jenny Zhang, MD, assistant professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern Medicine, discusses the Northwestern Medicine Recovery from Early Psychosis Program (REPP), a groundbreaking initiative targeting patients 18-26 years of age grappling with symptoms of psychosis that significantly impede their ability to lead fulfilling lives. Led by a collaborative team and centered around a ‘whole person’ approach, the program goes beyond medication management by emphasizing functional assessments, therapy groups, and peer support specialists. By fostering personal connections, promoting social reconnection, and providing resiliency training, the REPP empowers patients to navigate their unique paths. As it continues to evolve, the program remains committed to early intervention and comprehensive care, ensuring that young adults redefine their experiences and pursue fulfilling lives. ​
