Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The age of onset for schizophrenia is typically in early adulthood, often between the ages of 16 and 30. While there are some cases of childhood-onset schizophrenia, they are relatively rare. There is also evidence to suggest that prenatal and early childhood factors may contribute to the development of schizophrenia, but they are not necessarily the age of onset. Finally, schizophrenia does not typically develop in old age (at one's 50th birthday party).
