AB  - INTRODUCTION: Early diagnosis of symptoms related to psychotic disorders causes 
      hyper responsiveness, recurrence reduction and quality of life improvement. The 
      aim of this study was one-year follow-up of the clinical course and outcomes of 
      hospitalized patients with first episode psychotic disorders and detection of 
      factors affecting consequences. METHODS: This longitudinal descriptive study was 
      conducted during 2012 to 2013 on hospitalized patients at Zare Hospital in Sari, 
      Iran, with any psychotic symptoms and with diagnosis of first episode psychosis. 
      The severity of psychotic symptoms was assessed via PANSS scale (Positive and 
      Negative Syndrome Scale) and the global functioning through Global Assessment of 
      Functioning (GAF) scale on admission, discharge day, 6 and 12 months later. Data 
      were analyzed using ANOVA and t-test in SPSS 20 software. RESULTS: Thirty two 
      patients had complete follow-up (25 men and 7 women) (mean age of 29.37 +/- 8.02). 
      Discharge diagnosis was as 8 (25%) bipolar disorder with psychotic features, 8 
      (25%) not otherwise specified (NOS), 7 (22%) schizophrenia forum disorder, 7 
      (22%) psychotic disorder caused by abuse materials, 2 (6%) major depressive 
      disorder with psychotic features. There was drug abuse in half of the patients. 
      The drug abuse in the patients had a positive relationship with the recurrence of 
      psychotic symptoms (p=0.04). CONCLUSION: A significant percentage of patients 
      with first episode psychosis (50%) within 12 months after the primary 
      hospitalization experienced recurrence of psychotic symptoms. Likewise, global 
      functioning had no major improvement in the patients. It seems essential the 
      necessity of comprehensive services after discharge, especially in patients with 
      drug abuse, and further support of social service centers.
