b) Infact females have a better outcome compared to their male counterparts.
onset of schizophrenia is earlier in males with women showing a bimodal age distribution with a second peak in middle age.

i have confusion regarding the role of nicotine in schizophrenia.
It is said that nicotine stimulates the dopaminergic neurons the fact which aids to its addictive potential and explains the efforts to use it in parkinsonism.
but it is also written that nicotine reduces positive symptoms of schizophrenia especially auditory hallucinations and hence those who smokes self medicates them with this neurotransmitter.
can someone please clear my confusion that how it helps with psychosis while it stimulates dopminergic neurons
thanks
