[Schizophrenia at adolescence]
Abstract
The diagnosis of schizophrenia at adolescence is still difficult. The premorbid history and past family history can help with the differential diagnosis in this situation. Studies on the future of schizophrenic adolescents show that the disorder has particularly harmful consequences on the individuals' development and psychosocial adaptation. The risk of suicide is present. Comorbid disorders as cannabis abuse are discussed. Paradoxically, there are only few data about a productive therapy. The efficacy of prevention remains to be shown.
