AB  - Schizophrenia  in  children  is  defined  in  the  same  way  as  for  adolescents  and  adults,  based  on  characteristic  psychotic  symptoms  (ie,  hallucinations,  delusions,  and  symptoms  of  thought  disorder)  accompanied  by  deficits  in  adaptive  functioning  for  at  least  6  months.1  Historically,  the  term  was  used  broadly  and  included  children  who  had  what  we  now  know  to  be  autism;  schizophrenia  and  autism  are  now  seen  as  being  quite  different.2  The  concept  of  childhood  psychosis  is  problematic,  considering  the  marked  developmental  changes  in  children’s  understanding  of  reality  (see  Table  95-1).
