Abstract
Psychotic disorders in childhood are rare conditions, although there are no reliable epidemiological data that could be looked upon as representative. This may be due to the fact that different investigators have used different definitions, and several heterogeneous disorders have been subsumed under the heading of ‘psychoses in childhood’. Nevertheless, it is assumed that only 0.1 to 1% of all schizophrenic psychoses manifest themselves before the age of 10 years; however, after the age of 13 years, a remarkable increase in the occurrence of schizophrenia can be observed.
