Broken home linked to psychosis
Psychosis may be linked to social adversity
People from broken homes may be more prone to psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia, research suggests.
Researchers said their findings suggest the illnesses are not simply brain diseases, but linked to factors such as social adversity.
They found much higher rates among black people, who were also more likely to come from broken homes.
