Around one in every 100 people will experience psychosis at some stage in their lives. In Australia, between 0.3-0.5% of males and 0.2-0.3% of females aged 18-24 will have been treated for psychosis within the previous month. Overall, about 50% of people who develop a psychotic disorder will do so by the time they are in their early 20s. The age of onset tends to be a little older in females than males.
