Assessing and being aware of the self-perceived symptoms of patients with schizophrenia should be considered in the clinic, especially in men, as there appears to be a lack of agreement on certain items. This would allow treatments to be more focused on patients' need by sex, and would make them feel part of the therapeutic process, improving their therapeutic adherence, evolution and quality of life.
