Dr. Tibbo’s work in schizophrenia and psychosis is the main focus with early intervention the goal. Hence youth and young adults tend to be the target population. A tool for this research is often brain neuroimaging. Other aspects studied relate to comorbid addiction and more specifically cannabis and psychosis. Phil is building a program in NS which seeks to identify early and treat properly to address individuals with psychosis and addictions. Funding, testing, imaging, service delivery and getting to the rural NS youth are some of his many challenges.
