Schizophrenia, "just the facts" 4. Clinical features and conceptualization. (2009, positive): “Approximately a quarter of the excess mortality in schizophrenia is attributable to higher rates of suicide and about 10% to greater risk of accidents (Brown et al., 2000; Saha et al., 2007); the remainder of the excess mortality is on account of a broad range of “natural medical conditions”.”
