This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), a type of talking therapy that helps people understand their own thoughts and feelings and those of others. The study will see whether MBT, combined with standard mental health care, can help young people who are showing early warning signs of psychosis—before a full psychotic disorder develops.
Research shows that intervening early, before psychosis fully develops, can improve long-term outcomes. This treatment focuses on strengthening the thinking and social skills that help people stay mentally healthy, addressing a gap in current early intervention approaches.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the new mentalization-based therapy (combined with standard mental health care) or standard mental health care alone. Both groups will receive regular appointments with mental health professionals over an extended period. Participants in the therapy group will attend structured sessions focused on understanding their thoughts, feelings, and relationships, while also receiving standard support like counseling, medication if needed, and case management.
