Sex differences in schizophrenia
Mental health experts believe that certain life events may be responsible for the triggers of schizophrenia in people with a genetic risk. Twin studies have shown that it is partially hereditary, with a concordance rate of 40% in monozygotic twins, and a risk increase to 6.5% in people with an affected first degree relative. Schizophrenia is 1.4 times more common in men than women.〔 The age of onset is typically late adolescence or early adulthood.〔 In women, it tends to begin later in life〔 and in a milder form compared to men. Childhood-onset of schizophrenia is very rare and usually happens after the age 5. It can often be very difficult to differentiate from other developmental problems a child could possibly have.
== Symptoms with regard to gender differences ==
In schizophrenia different genders often exhibit different symptoms. It was suggested that men become more passive, apathetic, and socially withdrawn from society, while women become more impulsive, outgoing, and domineering (Ellison and Hamilton).
This has been known to be called role reversal because each gender shows features opposite to their stereotyped gender role. More recent studies do not support this idea. As well as male like behavior in females, they also tend to develop paranoid symptoms. Men, on the other hand, seem to have religious delusions and delusions of grandeur (Berner et al. 1979).
