If you have schizophrenia, you’re not alone. Schizophrenia affects more than 2 million American adults.

Schizophrenia typically first appears between the late teens and mid 30s. It’s more common in men. And schizophrenia tends to first appear 3-4 years earlier in men than in women.

Schizophrenia has been shown to run in families. A child with one parent who has schizophrenia is about 10 times more likely to get the disease than a child whose parents do not have the disease. However, people without a family history of schizophrenia can also have the disease.

GEODON is not approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in patients younger than 18 years old.

If someone you care about has schizophrenia, you may find yourself spending a good deal of your time taking care of their needs. Get suggestions on what you can do to help someone with schizophrenia and how to take care of yourself.
