Answers:
Usually people are diagnosed with schizophrenia in their early 20s, but it can be diagnosed at any age!.

The agency I work for has a client who was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 6!. That is very unusual, though!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

schz!. is actually a physical disease not a mental condition as is commonly thought!. it is a progressive deterioration of a section of the brain that can start at any time!. it takes a while before the symptoms become noticeable which is why most cases aren't diagnosed until late teens or early twenty's!. you will have it for several years and never know it!. with the brain imaging now available they are working on methods of earlier detection!. comparing m r i images taken over time you can actually see the diseases progression!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It can happen in adolescence usually not younger!. And it can happen at any time in life but usually shows when a person is young!. There are medications, lots of them that completely get rid of the voices and hallucinations putting one in a well state of mind!. The key is to be constant with the medications!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can only offer opinion but as the former answers said it usually occurs in the teen years but in some cases it happens in childhood and I suspect in many cases of children with schizophrenia it is either ignored or they are punished for the symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Symptoms usually set in in the 16-25 age-group, but theoretically it can (and does) sometimes start earlier or later!.

Onset of mental illness can be triggered by stress or the use of recreational drugs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
