Hi Summer. This is what my Google search came up with: "Early-onset schizophrenia starts in the teens or early twenties, while late-onset schizophrenia begins after age 40 or 45. Early-onset brings severe thinking and social problems. Late-onset has more paranoia, fewer social withdrawal signs, and works well with lower medicine doses.Age and GenderEarly-onset: Appears before age 18 or during early adulthood; affects more males early in life.Late-onset: Appears after age 40; affects more females.Symptoms and Thinking SkillsEarly-onset: Shows more negative signs like flat emotions, severe cognitive decline, and trouble with daily tasks.Late-onset: Shows more positive signs like detailed persecutory delusions and hallucinations, but basic thinking skills stay stronger.Treatment ResponseEarly-onset: Often needs higher or longer-term medicine plans.Late-onset: Often needs lower daily doses of antipsychotic drugs."
Hope this helps....Take care.
What matters is what you think!
My daughter says I have this. My Dr. Says no.
Good question.
I'd like to know too.
I would guess that it's lifelong regardless of the onset.
Those are my thoughts.
