The aim of this study was to investigate when social consequences in schizophrenia emerge, and what conditions give rise the disadvantage evident people suffering from schizophrenia.Early course studied a population-based sample 232 first illness-episode cases retrospectively onset admission, representative subsample 115 patients prospectively at six cross-sections over period 5 years. Data on non-specific negative symptomatology development compared with data an age- sex-matched control...
Using epidemiologic data, in an earlier study we formulated the hypothesis that estrogens can delay onset of schizophrenia females by raising vulnerability threshold for this disease. In animal experiments, Häfner and colleagues found evidence chronic estradiol treatment reduces sensitivity dopamine (D2) receptors brain. clinical presented article, as a further step examined antipsychotic properties human testing whether schizophrenic symptomatology varies with serum levels throughout...
Numerous studies have reported a lower mean age at first hospitalization for schizophrenia in males than females. For this finding not only gender difference onset of schizophrenia, but also other factors can be responsible. With the aim providing comprehensive analysis differences onset, symptomatology and course we started by testing hypothesis postulating hospitalization. By using Danish Mannheim psychiatric case registers analysed all hospital admissions related diagnoses previous...
Background Young people with self-experienced cognitive thought and perception deficits (basic symptoms) may present an early initial prodromal state (EIPS) of psychosis in which most the disability neurobiological schizophrenia have not yet occurred. Aims To investigate effects integrated psychological intervention (IPI), combining individual cognitive–behavioural therapy, group skills training, remediation multifamily psychoeducation, on prevention EIPS.

Conrad's (1958) and Docherty et al.'s (1978) models early course presume unidirectional compelling pat terns symptom manifestation. structural equation modeling, tested explanatory power stages as latent variables...
The ABC schizophrenia study aims at investigating sex differences in age of onset, symptoms and course schizophrenic paranoid disorders. For this purpose, we used case register data from Denmark Mannheim a directly examined sample first admissions (ABC sample). Danish included less clinical diagnoses more schizophrenia‐related disorders (acute reaction, states borderline schizophrenia) than the (case problem therefore was whether two datasets are comparable results valid. reason randomized,...
Sex differences in schizophrenic diseases have been known for a long time but also subject to long-term neglect by psychiatric epidemiological research, although study of these sex could, our opinion, yield valuable pointers pathogenic factors involved this group the aetiology which still awaits clarification. For reason we initiated large-scale investigations focussed on topic. The paper presented here discusses few initial results, based data Mannheim and National Danish Case Records own...
