What you say is in agreement with the common wisdom. However, I'll offer two caveats:
It may be no more than a myth that schizophrenia affects all ethnicities equally, according to a review of the data: http://schizophreniabulletin.oxfordjournals.org/content/32/1/195.full http://schizophreniabulletin.oxfordjournals.org/content/32/1...
According to a systematic review, it appears that ~0.4% of the world population is affected (lifetime prevalence), not 1%: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1140960/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1140960/
At any rate, I don't disagree with your general points, I just thought you might be interested in the above refinements.
- car 16y agoThank you for making this more specific. I checked on Wikipedia after my comment, and found what you cite. So common wisdom needs to adapt.
