Hi ConcernedSis,
I've been researching this and haven't been satisfied with what I turned up, so I will get back to you again shortly.
What i can tell you know is that sometimes because the SZ happens later in life, the person has lived a long time and been able to function and so perhaps the illness is less severe when it does come on later in life. I know someone for whom this was true.
Regards,
Christina

Hi,
I meant to write, "what I can tell you now," not "what I can tell you know."
