I think there is a tendency to increase the prevalence of schizophrenia. This trend is related to the famous hypothesis drop-down (downward drift), according to which there are many schizophrenics in the lower social strata in underground. And he had in our country as we know, is enormous. Concentration of population in only a few Bulgarian cities (Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv, Bourgas) also contributes to increased incidence of schizophrenia. Inherited schizophrenia in large cities with high population density is twice higher than in villages and small towns. Here is another notorious fact: two thirds of the homeless and nesretnitsite are actually suffering from schizophrenia. Most (90% of cases) are schizophrenics in the age range 15-54 years. About half of them made a suicide attempt.
