A member asked:
How does childhood schizophrenia look compared to teenage or adult schizophrenia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is very rare : Childhood onset schizophrenia is very rare and extremely disabling. Children with such a condition may have visual hallucinations, making it difficult to judge reality from fantasy. Behavioral disturbances are commonly a part of the condition as well. I saw a tv show about a girl who seemed like she was born with it.
