    Abstract
    Background
    Age at onset of psychosis may carry clinical significance across psychotic disorders and appears to be associated with specific genetic abnormalities.

    Methods
    We used the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) to examine clinical characteristics contributing to age at onset variability in patients with schizophrenia (n = 80), schizoaffective disorder (n = 61), and bipolar disorder with psychotic features (n = 92).

    Results
    Age at onset did not differ across DSM-IV diagnostic groups. Multiple regression analyses revealed that comorbid lifetime cannabis, but not alcohol, abuse/dependence was associated with a statistically significant 3 years earlier age at onset of psychosis. Patients developed cannabis abuse/dependence an additional 3 years before psychosis. Patients with comorbid lifetime panic disorder also had a 4-year earlier age at onset of psychosis. The effects of panic disorder and cannabis abuse/dependence were independent of one another.

    Conclusions
    Early onset of psychosis, regardless of the specific DSM-IV diagnosis, is characterized by differential clinical features, notably a history of lifetime cannabis abuse/dependence. Panic disorder comorbidity is also associated with earlier age at onset of psychosis. Our findings indicate that examination of clinical and biological characteristics of patients with psychosis regardless of DSM-IV diagnosis can uncover relevant information.

      Schizophrenia
      Overview
      Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality. Although schizophrenia is not as common as other mental disorders, the symptoms can be very disabling.

      Signs and Symptoms
      Symptoms of schizophrenia usually start between ages 16 and 30. In rare cases, children have schizophrenia too.

      The symptoms of schizophrenia fall into three categories: positive, negative, and cognitive.

      Positive symptoms: “Positive” symptoms are psychotic behaviors not generally seen in healthy people. People with positive symptoms may “lose touch” with some aspects of reality. Symptoms include:

      Hallucinations
      Delusions
      Thought disorders (unusual or dysfunctional ways of thinking)
      Movement disorders (agitated body movements)
      Negative symptoms: “Negative” symptoms are associated with disruptions to normal emotions and behaviors. Symptoms include:

      “Flat affect” (reduced expression of emotions via facial expression or voice tone)
      Reduced feelings of pleasure in everyday life
      Difficulty beginning and sustaining activities
      Reduced speaking
      Cognitive symptoms: For some patients, the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia are subtle, but for others, they are more severe and patients may notice changes in their memory or other aspects of thinking. Symptoms include:

      Poor “executive functioning” (the ability to understand information and use it to make decisions)
      Trouble focusing or paying attention
      Problems with “working memory” (the ability to use information immediately after learning it)
      Risk Factors
      There are several factors that contribute to the risk of developing schizophrenia.

      Genes and environment: Scientists have long known that schizophrenia sometimes runs in families. However, there are many people who have schizophrenia who don’t have a family member with the disorder and conversely, many people with one or more family members with the disorder who do not develop it themselves.

      Scientists believe that many different genes may increase the risk of schizophrenia, but that no single gene causes the disorder by itself. It is not yet possible to use genetic information to predict who will develop schizophrenia.

      Scientists also think that interactions between genes and aspects of the individual’s environment are necessary for schizophrenia to develop. Environmental factors may involve:

      Exposure to viruses
      Malnutrition before birth
      Problems during birth
      Psychosocial factors
      Different brain chemistry and structure: Scientists think that an imbalance in the complex, interrelated chemical reactions of the brain involving the neurotransmitters (substances that brain cells use to communicate with each other) dopamine and glutamate, and possibly others, plays a role in schizophrenia.

      Some experts also think problems during brain development before birth may lead to faulty connections. The brain also undergoes major changes during puberty, and these changes could trigger psychotic symptoms in people who are vulnerable due to genetics or brain differences.

      Treatments and Therapies
      Because the causes of schizophrenia are still unknown, treatments focus on eliminating the symptoms of the disease. Treatments include:

      Antipsychotics
      Antipsychotic medications are usually taken daily in pill or liquid form. Some antipsychotics are injections that are given once or twice a month. Some people have side effects when they start taking medications, but most side effects go away after a few days. Doctors and patients can work together to find the best medication or medication combination, and the right dose. Check the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website: (http://www.fda.gov/), for the latest information on warnings, patient medication guides, or newly approved medications.

      Psychosocial Treatments
      These treatments are helpful after patients and their doctor find a medication that works. Learning and using coping skills to address the everyday challenges of schizophrenia helps people to pursue their life goals, such as attending school or work. Individuals who participate in regular psychosocial treatment are less likely to have relapses or be hospitalized. For more information on psychosocial treatments, see the Psychotherapies webpage on the NIMH website.

      Coordinated specialty care (CSC)
      This treatment model integrates medication, psychosocial therapies, case management, family involvement, and supported education and employment services, all aimed at reducing symptoms and improving quality of life. The NIMH Recovery After an Initial Schizophrenia Episode (RAISE) research project seeks to fundamentally change the trajectory and prognosis of schizophrenia through coordinated specialty care treatment in the earliest stages of the disorder. RAISE is designed to reduce the likelihood of long-term disability that people with schizophrenia often experience and help them lead productive, independent lives.

      How can I help someone I know with schizophrenia?
      Caring for and supporting a loved one with schizophrenia can be hard. It can be difficult to know how to respond to someone who makes strange or clearly false statements. It is important to understand that schizophrenia is a biological illness.

      Here are some things you can do to help your loved one:
      Get them treatment and encourage them to stay in treatment
      Remember that their beliefs or hallucinations seem very real to them
      Tell them that you acknowledge that everyone has the right to see things their own way
      Be respectful, supportive, and kind without tolerating dangerous or inappropriate behavior
      Check to see if there are any support groups in your area
      Join a Study
      Clinical trials are research studies that look at new ways to prevent, detect, or treat diseases and conditions, including schizophrenia. During clinical trials, treatments might be new drugs or new combinations of drugs, new surgical procedures or devices, or new ways to use existing treatments. The goal of clinical trials is to determine if a new test or treatment works and is safe. Although individual participants may benefit from being part of a clinical trial, participants should be aware that the primary purpose of a clinical trial is to gain new scientific knowledge so that others may be better helped in the future.

      Please note:

      Decisions about whether to apply for a clinical trial and which ones are best suited for a given individual are best made in collaboration with a licensed health professional.

      How do I find Clinical Trials at NIMH/NIH?
      Scientists at the NIH campus conduct research on numerous areas of study, including cognition, genetics, epidemiology, and psychiatry. The studies take place at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland and require regular visits. After the initial phone interview, you will come to an appointment at the clinic and meet with one of our clinicians.

      Find NIH-funded studies currently recruiting participants with schizophrenia by using ClinicalTrials.gov (search schizophrenia) or visit Join a Study: Adults - Schizophrenia.

      How Do I Find a Clinical Trial Near Me?
      To search for a clinical trial near you, you can visit ClinicalTrials.gov. This is a searchable registry and results database of federally and privately supported clinical trials conducted in the United States and around the world. ClinicalTrials.gov gives you information about a trial's purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers to call for more details. This information should be used in conjunction with advice from health professionals.

              The $5 she charges isn't a large price to pay for the overall quality of her BJ's. $8 if I want her finger in my *ss. She's worth it.

                      Show all of us some proof of your accusations. When will he be impeached? When will they prove that collusion ever happened? Better yet, when will they change collusion to a CRIME? Can't wait when all of your socialist heads pop off over another four years.

                        Changing your story like trump. tisk tisk. Some collusion is a crime. Needs to be fully investigated. Trump acts guilty, because he is guilty. If he isn't guilty, he needs to support the investigation and open his books. Simple. He does not.

                        Footnote, Trump used to say there was no collusion, now the story changes. Pretty normal for a guy that lies on average 7 or 8 times in a day in public. Hoe many times a day do you think he lies to his family and friends? How many times a day to you lie? What is an acceptable level of lying?

                          I dont remember changing anything. I asked you to show us any PROOF and you boffed and started deflecting. AGAIN...

                          That's why no one takes you screaming sheep seriously! Always saying it's the end of times and using wild conjecture to criminalize someone with absolutely 0 proof. Keep screaming though! See you in 2024! ;)

                            Trumptards keep saying show us the proof, not understanding how Special Prosecutors work (hint: they don't reveal anything until the investigation is over). Can't wait to hear the silence from the alt right when Mueller's report drops.

                              Further proof Eric is the dumber Trump: He tweeted about how much he "despises disloyalty." I guess he forgot about how his dad cheated on his mother (and cheated on wives #2 and #3 as well). Or that his brother cheated on his wife and mother of his 5 children. Now Eric's wife is caught on tape doing daddy-in-law's dirty work and could be up for campaign finance violations (turns out using campaign funds to silence people is illegal. Ask John Edwards). Ivana, Marla and Tiffany seem to be the smartest ones getting out of that clown-family.

                                Until you show us P R O O F how about drinking a big glass of S T F U? :)

                                Thanks.
