I used to work at a residential treatment facility for adults with mental illness, and almost all of my clients had schizophrenia. It seemed that, more often than not, symptoms appeared at some point in a person's 20s or so -- and really, that freaked me out because I was in my 20s and thought wow, this could happen to me.
My clients were in residential treatment because they couldn't live on their own, although it wasn't a locked facility so they could come and go as they pleased. Most were heavily medicated, and several had Parkinson's-like symptoms as a side effect of the medication.
