Male / female statistics?

Is it true that men tend to develop psychotic disorders, while women are more prone to neuroses? Tnx
Answer:
No, it's pretty evenly distributed. Let's break it down by diagnoses...

Men and women are evenly diagnosed with:
-Schizophrenia (has psychotic component)
-Bipolar disorder (mania can be psychotic)

Women are hit harder with these:
-Depression
-Anxiety disorders
-Eating disorders

Men are hit harder with these:
-ADHD
-Autism

Hope this helps, and good luck!

You can find out a lot of things going there!

Have a good day!
The test to diagnose autism disorders have been focusing on boys/men and their symptoms, so many girls with Asperger's Syndrome have not been "caught" .
Many girls with eating disorders especially anorexia are now also diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrom.
