What this trial studies
This observational study tests a collaborative, therapeutic game adapted for adolescents to support teens with psychotic symptoms and related perceptions. Participants are 12 to 17 years old seen in outpatient child and adolescent psychiatry and may participate with parent consent. The study compares the game’s impact to standard treatments through follow-up interviews and established symptom scales. The game, called The Ocean of Possibilities, is used within a hospital-supported group setting to help adolescents understand and cope with their symptoms. No randomized assignment is described, and the objective is to detail the game’s impact in this real-world context.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the game could offer a new, engaging way to help teens manage psychiatric symptoms.
How similar studies have gone: Similar therapeutic games have shown promise in adult populations; application in adolescents is exploratory and less established.
