ABSTRACT:
Researchers have started to study the role of gender differences in Schizophrenia. Several studies show that the incidence of schizophrenia is two to three times higher among males than among females. It is also observed that the age of onset of schizophrenia in men is earlier than in women. It is believed that most men experience negative symptoms and on the other hand, women experience positive symptoms. Some researchers suggest that schizophrenia is more severe in men than in women and thus, the condition of women in terms of social functioning, maintaining relationships and their daily life is proven to be better than men in some studies. Even though the causes of schizophrenia are not known, a lot of factors can cause or trigger this terrifying mental disorder. Women are also observed to have fewer days of hospitalisation and a better response to medications and therapy than men. According to a research, In India, most cases of schizophrenia are observed to be in Goa and the least cases are in Bihar. India is globally ranked at 13th position in the number of publications on schizophrenia with a 2.04 % global share. To conclude, gender differences have been found in a number of studies and further study in this area can help provide useful information with a view to improving our care of these patients.
