    How does schizophrenia affect men and women?
    Research has shown that schizophrenia affects men and women fairly equally but may have an earlier onset in males. Rates are similar around the world. People with schizophrenia are more likely to die younger than the general population, largely because of high rates of co-occurring medical conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes.

    Diagnosis

    Verified Expert
    One or more of these tests may be recommended by your medical provider.
    Schizophrenia is diagnosed by the characteristic clinical picture. There is no diagnostic test available for schizophrenia. Doctors study the genetic and developmental background of the patient and changes in mental state before the onset of illness.

    Common tests & procedures

    Blood test: It is important to test blood samples to rule out the use of street drugs as these may also cause similar symptoms.

    Urine test: To rule out the use of street drugs.

    CT scan: The test is suggested to identify the changes due to schizophrenia and to rule out other neurological disorders.
