New research indicates that the earlier health care providers can identify and treat people with psychosis, the more likely they can help them be more successful in life.
Michael McDonell, Ph.D., says those with psychosis often hear or see things that aren’t real or have strongly held beliefs that aren’t based in reality.

Washington State University President Kirk Schulz has been on the job for about six months. The latest edition of the WSU Spokane Magazine has this Q&A with WSU’s new president to talk about his thoughts on Spokane, WSU’s medical school and more:
In the past few months, a number of developments in Spokane’s University District show how much the neighborhood could mean for Spokane’s future, and we are proud to play a large role.
At the request of the student body, WSU Spokane has created a new Student Diversity Center.
Dion Crommarty (pictured) was recently hired as the Diversity Center Coordinator. Crommarty has experience in higher education at Bloomsburg University, Penn State University, the University of Alaska-Anchorage and the University of Montana.
We sat down with Crommarty to learn about his path to WSU Spokane and his vision for the Diversity Center.
Last week, WSU’s Board of Regents approved, among many items, the renaming of the South Campus Facility at WSU Spokane to the Center for Clinical Research and Simulation – a name that better illustrates what goes on inside.
We know our campus is beautiful. But before this week, those who haven’t been here would have to trust our word.
Now, anyone around the world can take a virtual tour of campus thanks to the good people at Visit Spokane and Google.
Robbie Paul, the Director of WSU Spokane’s Native American Health Sciences Institute, will be honored in October with the YWCA’s Women of Achievement award.

The fall semester begins in 20 days here at WSU Spokane.
We felt it was a good time to review some recent news headlines concerning our campus, including a new clinic, recognition for our vice chancellor, a visit from the Air National Guard and more.
For the second year in a row, our campus hosted the TEAM Conference for first responders and mental health professionals.
The conference – put on through a collaboration among WSU Spokane, the Spokane Police and Fire departments, and Frontier Behavior Health – explored Trauma-Informed Care, and focused on response, resiliency and recovery.
The goal was for those from all of the professions present to understand how to deal with trauma, and some of the reasons why our bodies react to certain traumatic situations.
