People with the condition have a 50 times higher risk of attempting suicide than the general population; the risk of suicide is very serious in people with schizophrenia. Suicide is the number one cause of premature death among people with schizophrenia, with an estimated 10 percent to 13 percent killing themselves and approximately 40% attempting suicide at least once (and as much as 60% of males attempting suicide). The extreme depression and psychoses that can result due to lack of treatment are the usual causes

What Percentage of Individuals with sever mental illnesses are untreated, and why?
Recent American studies report that approximately half of all individuals with severe mental illnesses have received no treatment for their illnesses in the previous 12 months. These findings are consistent with other studies of medication compliance for individuals with schizophrenia and manic-depressive illness (bipolar disorder). The majority (55 percent) of those not receiving treatment have no awareness of their illness (anosognosia) and thus do not seek treatment. Stigma and dissatisfaction with services are relatively unimportant reasons why individuals with severe mental illnesses do not seek treatment.
The 45 percent who acknowledged that they needed treatment (and thus had awareness of their illness) but still were not receiving treatment cited many reasons for this. These included (respondent could check several reasons):
32% "wanted to solve problem on own"
27% "thought the problem would get better by itself"
20% "too expensive"
18% "unsure about where to go for help"
17% "help probably would not do any good"
16% "health insurance would not cover treatment"
Το 55% των ασθενων απο αυτους που δεν λαμαβανουν φαρμακευτικη αγωγη εχει ανοσογνωσια δηλαδη δεν παραδεχεται-ξερει οτι ειναι αρωστο.
Απο το 45% που μενει οι αιτιες κυριως ειναι ( αυτοι που απαντησαν μπορουν να τσεκαρουν πολλες επιλογες):
32% θελουν να λυσουν το προβλημα μονοι τους
27% νομιζουν οτι το προβλημα θα παει καλυτερα απο μονο του
20% πολυ ακριβα
18% δεν ειναι σιγουροι που να πανε για βοηθεια
17% οτι βοηθεια και να παρουν δεν προκειται να βελτιωθει η κατασταση
16% η ασφαλεια δεν καλυπτει την περιθαλψη-φροντιδα.
