Schizophrenia and related disorders are common, affecting about 1 in 100 people, and typically begin in late adolescence and early adulthood, when people are in the prime of their lives. They are also major causes of disease burden globally and are amongst the top causes of disability in working-age adults in the world. Carers are significantly affected by the burden of these disorders, which are a leading cause of healthcare costs. Schizophrenia and related disorders are also major causes of premature mortality due to suicide and elevated rates of comorbid conditions, particularly cardiometabolic disorders. It is clear that the stakes are high, and this book aims to help the clinician give their patients the best odds of getting better.
