Welcome to Seeing the Signs: Identifying and Differentiating Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders. This course is designed for mental health professionals who want to sharpen their diagnostic skills, deepen their understanding of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and strengthen their ability to intervene early and effectively. Throughout this training, we’ll explore: • How schizophrenia spectrum disorders develop and present across different populations, • How to recognize the full range of symptom clusters — positive, negative, cognitive, and mood-related, • How to accurately differentiate schizophrenia from other psychiatric and medical conditions, • And how to design comprehensive assessments and treatment strategies that are rooted in real-world clinical practice. Whether you’re newer to working with psychosis or looking to refine your skills at a deeper level, this course offers practical insights, real-world examples, and a clear, compassionate framework for supporting individuals on the schizophrenia spectrum. I’m Dr. Zackery A. Tedder, PsyD, and I’m honored to guide you through this important and often misunderstood area of mental health care. Let’s get started.
