A nurse is assisting with an in-service to a group of staff members about schizophrenia. Which of the following age groups should the nurse include as the age when schizophrenia is typically diagnosed?

A. School-age: Schizophrenia is rare in children, and early-onset cases before adolescence are uncommon. Symptoms that resemble schizophrenia in children often require further evaluation for other neurodevelopmental disorders. B. Young adulthood: Schizophrenia typically manifests between late adolescence and early adulthood, usually between ages 18 and 25 in men and slightly later in women. This period is when individuals experience their first psychotic episode. C. Preschooler: Schizophrenia is extremely rare in preschool-aged children. Symptoms such as hallucinations or disorganized behavior at this age are more likely related to other developmental disorders or trauma. D. Older adulthood: Late-onset schizophrenia is rare, and when psychotic symptoms emerge in older adults, they are often due to conditions such as dementia, delirium, or medication effects rather than primary schizophrenia.
