Familial thyroid disease and delayed language development in first admission patients with schizophrenia. Abstract Text:

One hundred consecutive first admission patients with a DSM-III-R diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophreniform disorder were compared with 100 randomly selected community controls. Childhood histories of physical, medical, and perinatal trauma, as well as physical and cognitive development, were examined by structured interviews with all available mothers of patients and controls. The prevalence of specific psychiatric disorders and several medical illnesses among first degree and more distant relatives was determined by family history questionnaires. The patient group did not have an excess of childhood head injuries, serious infections, or perinatal/birth complications compared with controls. With social class level taken into account, it was found that the acquisition of reading skills occurred significantly later in patients than controls. Family histories of schizophrenia and thyroid disorders were significantly more frequent among patients than controls. These data fail to indicate any childhood physical or medical environmental trauma that could lead to an increased risk for schizophrenia, although patients were substance abusers to a greater extent than controls. This study also confirms the already known contribution of familial factors and suggests an association of the inheritance of thyroid disorders with schizophrenia. Delayed development of reading skills suggests that precursers of illness may appear early in life before psychosis is evident.
