Abstract
We describe a young African male presenting to an Irish psychiatric service with first episode psychosis with an acute onset, no prodromal features and early and complete remission. Migrant and ethnic minority groups may differ in their clinical presentation, course and outcome of psychosis compared with the Caucasian population. This has implications for assessment and treatment of ethnic minority patients in an Irish context given the recent migration into a previously homogeneous population.
