Early identification of symptoms and accurate diagnoses are necessary for referrals to intervention programs, diagnostic conceptualization, treatment planning, recovery, pharmacotherapy decision-making, improvement in prognosis, functional capacity, and possible prevention of the emergence of full diagnostic disorders. Different symptom profiles have been shown to have more efficacious treatment approaches than others; however, differential diagnoses can be complicated when psychosis-like symptoms first start to emerge. Thus, learning how to differentiate between clinical high risk for psychosis, borderline personality disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder to determine if a singular diagnosis or multiple comorbid diagnoses are i necessary to improve patient care and treatment outcomes.
