About this trial
Researchers propose in this project to evaluate predictive factors of non response. It is defined by the lack of symptomatic remission at month 3, for patients presenting a first episode of psychosis. It will be performed on objective markers taken from imagery techniques. The link between evolution of these markers and clinical measures will be studied.
