Will you die in schizophrenia?

this is very important for me to know!

People with schizophrenia die on average younger than other members of the population. This is partly due to a high rate of successful suicide (about 10 - 15% die through suicide) and partly because of poor diet, social isolation, not going to medical checkups, chronic anxiety.

In conclusion, yes, statistically speaking you do die younger. but you can also make choices to deal with each of the above issues and so live a long and fulfilling life.

No, I won't. I don't have schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia doesn't kill you.

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disease. Approximately 1 percent of the population develops schizophrenia during their lifetime 鈥?more than 2 million Americans suffer from the illness in a given year. Although schizophrenia affects men and women with equal frequency, the disorder often appears earlier in men, usually in the late teens or early twenties, than in women, who are generally affected in the twenties to early thirties. People with schizophrenia often suffer terrifying symptoms such as hearing internal voices not heard by others, or believing that other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. These symptoms may leave them fearful and withdrawn. Their speech and behavior can be so disorganized that they may be incomprehensible or frightening to others. Available treatments can relieve many symptoms, but most people with schizophrenia continue to suffer some symptoms throughout their lives; it has been estimated that no more than one in five individuals recovers completely.

This is a time of hope for people with schizophrenia and their families. Research is gradually leading to new and safer medications and unraveling the complex causes of the disease. Scientists are using many approaches from the study of molecular genetics to the study of populations to learn about schizophrenia. Methods of imaging the brain鈥檚 structure and function hold the promise of new insights into the disorder.

No you will not die if you have Schizophrenia. You will live until something else kills you or you die of old age just like everyone else.
You won't die, but you must get the right treatment! A psyciatrist should see you and you have to trust him and take the medication, because it will make you stop believing that you might die!
