Schizophrenic sub-diagnosis and age at menarche
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
Not uncommonly, schizophrenia seems to arise in close connection with the puberal years. This is sometimes attributed to psychological or physiological stresses at puberty, but there is no really adequate understanding of the phenomenon. One cannot predict at all dependably which personality characteristics or which stresses will result in a schizophrenic breakdown near puberty.
