В качестве социальных предикторов, определяющих рост частоты психических заболеваний, рассматривают процессы урбанизации, стрессогенные события и другие социал...ные тенденции современного мира. Отмечается их прямая связь с манифестацией психических расстройств, в том числе шизофренией. Наиболее подвержены психическим расстройствам лица, находящиеся в неблагоприятной жизненной ситуации или малоимущие. По тяжести социальных последствий и по нарушению адаптации шизофрения продолжает лидировать в психиатрии.

Проведенное исследование устанавливает, что клинические предикторы, определяющие тяжесть состояния больных с незлокачественным течением шизофрении, не являются облигатными в социализации данной категории больных.
