Suicide as a complication of schizophrenia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
The social, personal, occupational and domestic deficits of schizophrenia are well known. Perhaps it has not been emphasised sufficiently that people suffering from schizophrenia also have an increased mortality. It is important to recognise that suicide is the commonest form of death among both male and female schizophrenics and occurs in 10%-15% of cases.
