Schizophrenia by Country and World
This bar chart race shows the prevalence of schizophrenia by country/territory and world, total and percentage of population, from 1990 to 2021.
Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic mental disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly. It is characterized by episodes of psychosis, which can include hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not present), delusions (false beliefs), disorganized thinking, and significantly impaired functioning. People with schizophrenia may also experience a range of other symptoms, including social withdrawal, lack of motivation, and difficulty with memory and attention. The exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown, but it is believed to result from a complex interplay of genetic, biological, and environmental factors.
Using data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), we can observe trends and prevalence rates of schizophrenia over the past three decades. The global prevalence of schizophrenia has remained relatively stable from 1990 to 2020, with approximately 20 million people affected worldwide each year. This stability suggests that while the condition remains a significant public health issue, the rate of new cases has not seen substantial increases or decreases. Schizophrenia affects men and women at similar rates, though men often experience an earlier onset of the disorder. There are regional differences in the prevalence and burden of schizophrenia. Higher prevalence rates are often reported in urban areas compared to rural ones, which may be due to better diagnostic facilities, higher stress levels, and more significant social challenges in urban settings.<
