I'm a young lady and my age is 20 years old but i have a schizophrenia and that sickness start for females at 26 years old so, why is that happened?

Schizophrenia: May develop earlier than age 26 in both women and men -- in fact it often shows up in late teens and early 20's. Hoping that you work closely with your psychiatrist so that your symptoms can be managed as well as possible. Life can still be productive and full. Best wishes to you and your family.

Mental illness: Schizophrenia usually manifests in the late teens to 30. Scientists are still trying to determine the interplay between genes, environmental and chemical factors that cause this illness. Talk to your psychiatrist and therapists about additional support.

Incorrect info: Schizophrenia is an illness that rarely affects children, usually begins in the teenage years, and generally fully appears in early adulthood. Your experience, far from being unusual, is a more typical situation of being diagnosed at around age 20. If you begin serious, committed treatment with a truly competent psychiatrist, you will get the best chance of doing as well as you can.

It can happen.: There is no set age when schizophrenia starts. Usually, it starts in late adolescence and the early 20's. This is true for both sexes and the prevalence is equal for men and women. Rarely, a child and older adult can exhibit symptoms of schizophrenia.
