Cleaning Up and Fixing[edit]

This article is hardly what it needs to be for the people it is going to affect. I have inserted highlights from the DSM-V for schizophrenia as they own the definition of schizophrenia. I don't think I'll be able to get to everything. We will need to add:

1. explanations and previous theories-- developmental differences, dopamine receptors, brain stuff, hormones. 2. social implecations -- pregnancy, sexual outlook, violence, etc. 3. History if you are good-- Kraepelin 1893 I think is a good place to start. 4. We need something cultural -- For bipolar disorder we have Virginia Woolf's separation of Clarissa and Septimus in Mrs. Dalloway. If we could find art or a literary character or a person, that would help make this connect to the reader. 5. Recent studies -- 2017 studies focus on the social aspect of gender.

Previously we have had problems with using old data (anything before 1993 is going to be obsolete due to shifting criteria making it not factual). I recommend instead 1. Don't use an old definition of schizophrenia unless it's history. DSM-IV at least. Helps you stay organized. 2. Look at "sex difference in autism". These two disorders are very similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Admont5 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns about this article[edit]

User:Rosiestepand User:Doc James there is a concern on les sans pagEs about this article that has been recently translated in French about the potential sexist aspect stigmatizing women. I lack the medical background to evaluate the medical sources cited there, and am not familiar with the subject. Having your opinion would be valued!--Nattes à chat (talk) 11:41, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nattes à chat can you explain the concern? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:52, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One contributor thought it could be stigmatizing to women and used against them. I'm just asking your opinion. --Nattes à chat (talk) 14:07, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nattes à chat, thank you for reaching out to me, but I lack the medical background to address this topic. Adding User:Jaluj to the conversation as they may want to comment. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:29, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Have not worked on this article to any extent. Happy to look at specific concerns. Sex related differences in diseases are common. Schizophrenia is more common in males, no sure how that would stigmatize women? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:06, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is true what James says. What is peculiar is that the article is focused on female prevalence, when the characteristic of the difference between male and female in schizophrenia is that the percentage of schizophrenic males is much higher. The article should be focused on males and whay they have a higher index of this disease, not on why female experience onset of schizophrenia during middle age or that gender differences in age at the first hospital admission are typically due to a more acute onset in females. I think it focuses too much on women and that gives the article an inappropriate bias. --Jalu (talk) 16:42, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
