People with schizophrenia who are well controlled or who do not engage in suicidal behavior usually have a life expectancy similar to that of a normal person. If suicidal behavior exists and has been successfully committed, the life expectancy will be shortened, and the exact life expectancy cannot be generalized.
Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe mental disorder with an unknown pathogenesis. It is not a fatal disease and does not usually affect life expectancy. Generally speaking, if patients can actively cooperate with treatment or receive careful care from their families, or if they do not engage in suicidal behavior, the life expectancy of most patients is similar to that of normal people.
However, some patients often have serious hallucinations, delusions and other symptoms, these patients always feel that there are people around them are framing their own, so they may fall into anxiety, depression, mental collapse and other situations, in order to escape from the pain, some patients will choose to commit suicide, the life expectancy of such patients will be shortened, the specific life expectancy, how much, can not be generalized.
Schizophrenia is a more serious disease, the onset of patients may not only harm themselves, but also may bring harm to others, so we must actively cooperate with professional doctors for treatment.
