Abstract
Advocates of early intervention in psychosis choose to treat the association between long duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) and poor outcome as evidence that reducing DUP will improve outcomes. I question this view and argue that DUP does not predict outcome but rather that mode of onset of psychosis predicts DUP and outcome.
