Saber Psychiatry specializes in treating mental health conditions in people ages 2 to 65. One mental health condition that usually starts between the ages of 16 to 30 is schizophrenia. According to The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms usually start in men in the late teens and early 20s, and in women, the symptoms start in the mid-20s to early 30s.
People with schizophrenia will require lifelong treatment. Symptoms can vary and change over time, but the earlier a person seeks treatment, the better their chances are for recovery and improved quality of life.
The CDC reports that individuals with schizophrenia can experience:
- False beliefs that cannot be changed, even when presented facts (delusions).
- Seeing or hearing things that do not exist, such as a voice making commands (hallucinations).
- The belief that others are reading or controlling their minds.
- Disorganized thinking and speech, including shifting from one thought to the next without a logical connection or speaking in sentences that do not make sense to others
- Difficulty speaking and expressing emotion, as well as problems with attention, memory, and organization.
- Disorganized or abnormal physical behavior, including inappropriate, repetitive, excessive, or strange actions or a complete lack of movement or talking.
- A reduced ability to function normally, such as ignoring personal hygiene or not showing emotion.
