Which of the following statements is true about schizophrenia?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research on schizophrenia suggests that there may be two distinct populations who develop the disorder. One population displays behavioral abnormalities and social difficulties from a young age, while the other population appears to develop normally until adolescence, when they experience their first psychotic episode. Thus, option D, which mentions two different populations, is the most accurate statement. Options A and B are incorrect as schizophrenia is usually diagnosed in late adolescence or early adulthood, and not all individuals who go on to develop schizophrenia were seen as odd in childhood. Option C is also incorrect, as not all individuals who go on to develop schizophrenia were seen as normal in childhood.
