Resumo

Traumatic events in childhood have been associated with an increased risk of psychiatric disorders and given its high prevalence, it is likely to be a determinant of mental illness. Psychosis is an experience that reflects a dimensional psychopathological syndromic nature of af-fective components, cognitive style of thinking, loss of ego boundaries or a serious deterioration in the assess-ment of reality. We present the case of a teenager with a family genetic charge of severe mental disorder, who contacted the mental health service after attenuated psy-chotic symptoms and Brief and Limited Intermitent Psy-chosis, in the context of traumatic life events. A recent meta-analysis discusses the relationship be-tween the risk of psychosis and early psychological trauma. It is suggested that psychological trauma may promote neurochemical changes and psychopathological of a vulnerable individual. It remains to study the role of psychotherapeutic interventions in the course of high-risk mental states and their possible evolution to a psychotic disorder.
