In FEP-patients, female gender is associated with better social function and a higher degree of compliance, while males seem to exhibit more negative symptoms and a higher degree of abuse.
The gender issue is relevant to explore in order to evaluate whether gender differences ought to result in gender specific treatment interventions.
A subgroup of 269 persons (181 men and 88 women) included in the DNS and receiving treatment as usual (TAU) was analyzed according to gender and possible variations in the expression of demography, psychopathology, drug consumption and abuse. Results of treatment and social function as expressed by rating by duration of untreated psychosis (DUP), PANSS, Strauss Carpenter and GAF were compared.
Data from 2 years follow-up of this group will be presented with focus on gender issues.
Various marked gender differences were confirmed in the study. As a consequence a number of gender specific interventions are suggested.
