  • Title: Gender differences in affective, schizoaffective, and schizophrenic disorders. A review.
    Author: Bardenstein KK, McGlashan TH.
    Journal: Schizophr Res; 1990; 3(3):159-72. PubMed ID: 2278981.
    Abstract:
    The authors review the literature on sex differences in four DSM-III diagnoses: schizophrenia, schizoaffective psychoses, unipolar and bipolar affective disorders. The findings indicate that (1) gender differences occur most frequently in schizophrenic patients: schizophrenic women exhibit a less deteriorated course of illness; (2) sex differences in affective disordered patients support the unipolar-bipolar subtype distinction; and (3) sex differences are less compelling but also less studied in schizoaffective disorder. Theories attempting to explain sex differences in schizophrenia are reviewed.
