...ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b.

The aim is to expand Canadian ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b guidelines to include the specific needs of women.

Method: We searched the Medline database; keywords included estrogen, estrogen replacement therapy, ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b, psychosis, treatment, tardive dyskinesia (TD), and women.

We examined reference lists from relevant articles to ensure that our review was complete.

Results: The epidemiologic evidence suggests that, relative to men, women show an initial delay in onset age of ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b, with a second onset peak after age 44 years.

Clinical research results indicate that symptoms in women frequently vary with the menstrual cycle, worsening during low estrogen phases.

Some work suggests that in the younger age groups women require lower antipsychotic dosages than men but that following menopause they require higher dosages.
