Schizophrenia incidence rates appear to be declining. Data from England and Wales show a significant decrease in new schizophrenia cases starting in the mid-1960s.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Schizophrenia incidence is generally considered stable across cultures and time.
  • Recent studies, primarily using first-admission data, suggest a decline in incidence over the last 10-15 years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine long-term trends in schizophrenia incidence.
  • To investigate potential changes in schizophrenia rates over several decades.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from England and Wales covering the period 1952-1986.
  • Examination of incidence rates of schizophrenia.

Main Results:

  • A substantial decrease in the incidence of schizophrenia was observed.
  • This decline began in the mid-1960s and continued through 1986.

Conclusions:

  • The incidence of schizophrenia has significantly decreased in England and Wales since the mid-1960s.
  • This finding challenges the assumption of stable schizophrenia incidence over time.
