This is a presentation done on 4/6/11 for the Grand Rounds at Wayne State university by Pallav Pareek M.D. This presentation talks about the concept of prdrome as it is(if?) applicable to schizophrenia, and if schizophrenia is becoming more of a preventable illness as science progresses. If so what are the various ways and means in which we can accomplish this prevention. Amidst so much controversy on the issue , whether there is a prodrome for this illness or not, here I have tried to present the recent advances in this field and the recent scientific literature in this regard.
