Currently, doctors diagnose schizophrenia and monitor treatment primarily through clinical interviews, which can be slow and imprecise. This study will work with 80 individuals recently diagnosed with first-episode schizophrenia who are beginning treatment with either aripiprazole or risperidone, along with 80 healthy volunteers. Blood samples will be collected from all participants. For individuals with schizophrenia, blood will be drawn at the beginning of treatment and again after 12 weeks. By comparing patterns of brain-derived miRNAs in the blood of patients versus healthy volunteers, and by observing changes in these miRNAs during treatment, the researchers hope to discover whether these molecules can help diagnose schizophrenia more quickly and predict how well a treatment will work. If successful, this study will provide initial evidence that these miRNAs could become valuable new tools leading to earlier, more accurate diagnoses and more personalized treatment selection.",[88,89,90,91],"Schizophrenia Disorder","Schizophreniform Disorder","Schizoaffective Disorder","Psychosis Not Otherwise Specified (NOS)",[93,94,95,96,97],"miRNA","biomarkers","first episode","neural derived extracellular vesicles","exosomes","2026-07-10",{"date":100,"type":101},"2026-07-14","ACTUAL",{"date":103,"type":82},"2026-07-01",{"date":105,"type":82},"2031-05-01",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
