Statistics

According to official data reported recently by The Department of Psychiatry at the Alexander Hospital in Sofia, 20 percent of Bulgarians have mental health problems. The most frequently occurring depression and alcohol dependence. Followed by drug addiction, frustration, phobias and mania, etc. Schizophrenia generally impresses one percent of the population. Thus, it is customary to view worldwide. There is evidence that its distribution is hardly influenced by national characteristics. But is influenced by hereditary factors. Therefore, we have to kapsulovanostta one ethnic group in the country featuring a special fertility (9-10 children per woman in fertile age), we can assume here that one percent is actually quite exceeded. To facilitate this and the fact that much of the full population, mostly healthy and educated young people without mental health problems in the last 20 years Bulgaria has left forever. So my calculations, those suffering from schizophrenia are between 1,3 and 1.6 percent, or about 100 000 people. Argument for a greater number is the number of suicides and attempted suicides in the country compared to European average parameters.
