Introduction

The prevalence of acute and transient psychotic disorder (ATPD) varies from 3.9–9.6 per 100,000 population [1]. Even it has clinical course with psychosis, there is no evidence that ATPD is similar with schizophrenia [2].

Objectives

Since in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) are not established specialized services for early interventions (EI), community mental health centers (CMHC) are basic services for fast and most efficient interventions in the cases of ATPD among other psychiatric disorders. The mental health reform has planned to establish EI services in the future [3].

Aims and method

To show CMHC as efficient service in the treatment of ATPD without using hospitalisation of young woman with two years follow up (case study)

Results

Full recovery of young female with ATPD using team approach and model of case management. After follow up of two years was any indications that psychotic disorders will develop.

Conclusions

Even we have not EI specialized services in our country, CMHC have capacities to manage ATDP in community settings avoiding hospitalisation of young people.
