## Magnitude and impact

Schizophrenia affects more than 21 million people worldwide but is not as common as many other mental disorders. It is more common among males (12 million), than females (9 million). Schizophrenia also commonly starts earlier among men.
Schizophrenia is associated with considerable disability and may affect educational and occupational performance.
People with schizophrenia are 2-2.5 times more likely to die early than the general population. This is often due to physical illnesses, such as cardiovascular, metabolic and infectious diseases. For example, the prevalence of diabetes in people with schizophrenia is 2-3 times higher than the general population. This is partly due to the lifestyle of people living with schizophrenia and partly due to antipsychotic treatment, both of which can lead to weight gain.
Stigma, discrimination and violation of human rights of people with schizophrenia is common.

## Causes of schizophrenia

Research has not identified one single factor. It is thought that an interaction between genes and a range of environmental factors may cause the disorder. Environmental factors include early exposure to certain infections, malnutrition during pregnancy and infancy, and problems during childbirth.
Psychosocial factors also contribute to schizophrenia. These include urbanization, immigration, psychological trauma and stress.

## Services

More than 50% of people with schizophrenia are not receiving appropriate care. Ninety per cent of people with untreated schizophrenia live in developing countries. Lack of access to mental health services is an important issue. Furthermore people with schizophrenia are less likely to seek care than the general population.

## Management

Schizophrenia is treatable. Treatment with medicines and psychosocial support is effective. However, the majority of people with chronic schizophrenia do not receive treatment.
There is clear evidence that old-style mental hospitals are not effective in providing the treatment that people with mental disorders need and violate basic human rights of persons with mental disorders. Efforts to transfer care from mental health institutions to the community need to be expanded and accelerated. The engagement of family members and the wider community in providing support is very important.
Pilot programmes in several developing countries (e.g. Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, India, Iran, Pakistan, Tanzania) have demonstrated the feasibility of providing care to people with severe mental illness through the primary health-care system by:
* training primary health-care personnel;
* providing access to essential drugs;
* supporting families providing home care; and
* educating the public to decrease stigma and discrimination.

## Human rights violations

People with schizophrenia are prone to human rights violations both inside mental health institutions and in communities. Stigma of the disorder is high. This contributes to discrimination, which can in turn limit access to education, housing and employment.
