- The study analyzed hospitalization patterns for psychotic disorders, focusing on patients under 45 and over 55 years from 2010 to 2013.
- Results indicated that younger women had fewer hospital admissions and involuntary stays compared to their male counterparts, while older women had more hospitalizations than older men.
- Women, especially those younger than 45, were prescribed lower doses of clozapine but similar intramuscular risperidone doses compared to men, suggesting better hospitalization outcomes for younger women.
