"We published our first official NICE clinical guideline in 2002. This guidleine (CG 1) focused on schizophrenia, and provided guidance for healthcare practitioners about how best to treat people suffering from the condition. The guideline has been updated twice, and in 2014 (after its second update) extended its remit to cover psychosis and schizophrenia in adults: prevention and management. This reflected our developing understanding of psychotic episodes and their long term relevance.

Since 2002, we’ve produced 80 pieces of mental health guidance on clinical, public health and social care topics ranging from the mental health of people in the criminal justice system, to social and emotional wellbeing in primary education, and the mental wellbeing of older people in care homes."
