Childhood schizophrenia has been diagnosed as autism since 1994 when the DSM IV was published.

The most irrefutable finding is our demonstration that a father’s age is a major risk factor for schizophrenia. We were the first group to show that schizophrenia is linearly related to paternal age and that the risk is tripled for the offspring of the oldest groups of fathers.7 This finding has been born out in every single cohort study that has looked at paternal age and the risk for schizophrenia. The only other finding that has been as consistently replicated in schizophrenia research is that there is an increased risk associated with a family history of schizophrenia. Since only 10% to 15% of schizophrenia cases have a family history, family history does not explain much of the population risk for schizophrenia. However, we think that approximately one third or one quarter of all schizophrenia cases may be attributable to paternal age.

By the time I'd reached my early 30s and was still not married, someone offered me this bit of advice: Just pick somebody.
Women are relentlessly reminded of the dreaded biological clock and the risks of having children after 35. But recent science suggests men, too, should be worried.
"The term 'biological clock' has always referred to females, but now there's evidence men are also ticking off some of their healthy children," says Jay Schinfeld, a fertility specialist.
The latest finding, published last month: Older fathers are more likely to have children with autism. Researchers tracked 387,000 people born in Israel and concluded the odds of fathering an autistic child are about 6 in 1,000 for men under 20. When a man reaches 50,
That is absolutely false dear…
You see…Parents age have NOTHING to do with child schizophrenia …it has to do, with Downs syndrome (trisomy 21) that has in itself, distinct facial features, short neck, absence of two creases in the palm of the hand, low IQ, etc…..however only the age of the MOTHER is the factor here…after age 35 the chances of getting a baby with Downs syndrome will increase in a logarythmic progressive manner….Age of the father has nothing to do with it.
As for autism, is no longer classified as schizophrenia, its a distinct disease that isolates the victim from the environment,
making him/her to react in a very different manner than normal people do, being very introverted, isolated, with very little tendency to talk or communicate, living in a universe of their own,,
Autism, is NOT inheritable, and is due to the absence of two layers in the inner (medial ) portion of the CORTEX of the temporal lobe, the one that is the relay of many visual, auditory and amotional functions….
If you see the newest edition of the DSM. you will see what is commented here…
I might have Bipolar Disorder. What are some symptoms of it and what do I do if I have it? I am 13 years old and am wondering if I should tell my parents and if they know anything about it. I currently take effexor and have been taking it since I was 7.
Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic-depressive illness, is a condition that affects more than two million Americans. People who have this illness tend to experience extreme mood swings, along with other specific symptoms and behaviors. These mood swings or “episodes” can take three forms: manic episodes, depressive episodes, or “mixed” episodes.
The symptoms of a manic episode often include elevated mood (feeling extremely happy), being extremely irritable and anxious, talking too fast and too much, and having an unusual increase in energy and a reduced need for sleep. It’s also very common for someone to act impulsively during a manic episode, and engage in behaviors that are risky or that they later regret, like spending sprees. And in over half of all manic episodes, people are troubled by delusions or hallucinations. For example, they may think they have a relationship with someone famous, claim to be an expert in an area they really know nothing about, feel paranoid (unusually fearful), or hear voices that are not there.
The symptoms of a depressive episode often include an overwhelming feeling of emptiness or sadness, a lack of energy, a loss of interest in things, trouble concentrating, changes in normal sleep or appetite, and/or thoughts of dying or suicide.
A mixed episode includes symptoms that are both manic and depressive.
I just quit taking Geodon last week. I had horrible side effects, such as dizziness, shaking, & headaches. I quit it cold turkey, which was bad, but now it's out of my system. I've also taken Prozac, Zoloft, & Lexapro. I'm starting to think medication will never work for me. Do you know of any good bipolar medication? Thanks.
Adding antidepressants to mood-stabilizing drugs may not help — or hurt — the treatment of bipolar depression, the depressive phase of bipolar disorder.
Mood stabilizers balance certain brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that control emotional states and behavior.
Lithium is usually one of the first medicines prescribed for bipolar disorder to treat mania and to prevent the return of both manic and depressive episodes.
Depakote is used to treat mania and may be used in people who cannot take or don't respond to lithium.
Experts believe that ABILIFY works by adjusting dopamine, instead of completely blocking it, as well as affecting serotonin.
The exact way that Lamictal works is unknown. However, it is believed that Lamictal affects chemicals in the brain involved in bipolar disorder. Lamictal is used alone or in combination with other medications in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
I wish you all the best finding the right medication. Talk with your pyschiatrist. Just keep in mind that you may have to go through a few medications before finding the right one for you.
Good luck!
" Schizophrenia is a chemical and electrical brain disorder in which neural twists create problems in thought, sound, sight, and other brain functions that are perceived and experienced as real, although they are not. ", from http://www.ehow.com/how_2038439_recognize-schizophrenia.html
why isnt it proven, then?
This isn't a bad definition, but it is vague for a reason. We really don't know the mechanism of action for schizophrenia. We know there is a genetic link but even that doesn't guaruntee that a person will get this. Hell, you can be an identical twin and your brother can get it and not you, so obviously it's more than genetics and environment.
