Women generally have a later age of onset than men. The average age of a man's first psychotic episode is 18, while a woman's is 25. Women generally have a higher rate of paranoid schizophrenia compared to other types. Women more often have problems with affect (i.e. having inappropriate emotional responses or not showing responses), but also generally have better lives after recovery.
