Research update: childhood-onset schizophrenia: implications of clinical and neurobiological research
Article Abstract:
A study of childhood-onset schizophrenia is imperative to increased understanding of adult-onset disorder. Evidence reveals that progressive ventricular enlargement and more prolonged deterioration in intellectual function is more apparent in childhood-onset schizophrenia which continues on to adulthood or maybe a multi-event process. Furthermore, the progressive brain morphologic changes may be distinct from the process triggering onset of psychosis itself.
