Positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia as correlates of help-seeking behaviour and the duration of untreated psychosis in south-east Nigeria

Symptoms of the prodromal period were poorly recognised. The mean DUP suggests a significant delay in treatment and younger children had a longer DUP. The gender differences in presentation (marginal) and substance use (highly significant) suggests that there may be different environmental risk factors for males and females in early onset psychosis or that early onset psychosis is more genetically homogenous and less dependent on environmental triggers.
