Healio (1/30, Herpen) reports, “In children with familial high risk of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, evidence of motor impairment skills may indicate neurodevelopmental vulnerability for psychosis,” researchers concluded in a study that “included 437 children…born in Denmark between Sept. 1, 2004, and Aug. 31, 2009, with no, one or two parents born in Denmark with a diagnosis of either schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.” The findings were published online Jan. 4 ahead of print in the February issue of The Lancet Psychiatry.
