A study estimated that more than 5.5 million people in China were suffering from schizophrenia in 2019, representing a significant hike in case numbers of over 50 percent since 1990. Similar to depression patients, patients with schizophrenia are socially vulnerable, with a higher rate of suicide and self-harm, making the condition a burden to the patients' families, the health service, and the wider Chinese society.
