Onset of schizophrenia is rare before puberty and uncommon after age 45. The number of reported cases is split evenly between men and women, although schizophrenia tends to appear earlier for men-usually in the late teens or early 20s-compared to women, who generally begin to display symptoms in their 20s or early 30s. While there is no known cure for this severe mental illness, new medications can help alleviate many of the disease's severe symptoms with fewer motor side effects than older medications. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 1 percent of the population currently suffers from schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that is usually progressively debilitating without medical treatment.
Schizophrenia is a brain disorder, with many abnormalities of the brain structure, function and chemistry.
