Abstract
Schizophrenia is an expensive disease. In the USA, it affects approximately 1% of the population but patients occupy 25% of all hospital beds. In Australia, schizophrenia was found to affect less than 10% of the number experiencing a myocardial infarction and yet the costs of medical services for treating schizophrenia are 75% of those for myocardial infarction.
