What kind of schizophrenia do you have if you self-harm?
There is no specific type of schizophrenia that is associated with self-harm. Self-harm in schizophrenia is generally associated with delusions.

Is schizophrenia common in children?
No, schizophrenia is quite rare in pre-adolescent children. (early onset schizophrenia) Many pediatricians and psychologists in general practice may never encounter a genuine case. The English term schizophrenia comes from two Greek words that mean "split mind." It was observed around 1908, by a Swiss doctor named Eugen Bleuler, to describe the splitting apart of mental functions that he regarded as the central characteristic of schizophrenia. Most patients are diagnosed in their late teens or early twenties, but the symptoms of schizophrenia can emerge at any age in the life cycle. The male/female ratio in adults is about 1.2:1. Male patients typically have their first acute episode in their early twenties, while female patients are usually closer to age 30 when they are recognized with active symptoms. Schizophrenia is rarely diagnosed in preadolescent children, although patients as young as five or six have been reported. Childhood schizophrenia is at the upper end of the spectrum of severity and shows a greater gender disparity. It affects one or two children in every 10,000; the male/female ratio is 2:1.
