Recent studies have begun to look at gender differences in schizophrenia and first-episode psychosis in an attempt to explain the heterogeneity of the illness.
However, a number of uncertainties remain.
This paper tries to summarize the most important findings in gender differences in schizophrenia and first-psychosis episodes.
Several studies indicate that the incidence of schizophrenia is higher in men.
Most of the studies found the age of onset to be earlier in men than in women.
Findings on symptoms are less conclusive, with some authors suggesting that men suffer more negative symptoms while women have more affective symptoms.
Premorbid functioning and social functioning seem to be better in females than males.
However, cognitive functioning remains an issue, with lack of consensus on differences in neuropsychological profile between women and men.
Substance abuse is more common in men than women with schizophrenia and first-episode psychosis.
In terms of the disease course, women have better remission and lower relapse rates.
Lastly, there is no evidence of specific gender differences in familial risk and obstetric complications.
Overall, gender differences have been found in a number of variables, and further study in this area could help provide useful information with a view to improving our care of these patients.
