Why is schizophrenia more common in men than women?

A; It has been demonstrated that estradiol therapy when applied in the right, non-erratic manner & in appropriate, adequate dosage, can prevent & effectively rein-in psychosis, as long as other hormone therapies such as potent progestins are not allowed to run interference on this wonderfully benevolent mechanism.  So the answer is an undoubted YES, & our clinical experience bears this theory out.
