Healio (9/22, Herpen) reports a “relapse of schizophrenia symptoms was associated with higher rates of adverse socioeconomic outcomes” among military veterans, researchers concluded in a retrospective cohort study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. Investigators “also found the relapse cohort had a higher frequency of unemployment (75.4% vs. 71.4%), divorce (35.6% vs. 33.7%), homelessness (38.9% vs. 23.7%), incarceration (0.6% vs. 0.4%), and premature death (23.3% vs. 16.9%) compared with non-relapse counterparts.”
