Just wondering how many undiagnosed people are there

I remember my time in my auto in America and I often saw many people in the streets talking by themselves which made me to wonder what the right % of sz people is who have been diagnosed so.

I haven’t been diagnosed with anything yet, but I went through psychological testing two weeks ago, and I will be getting results soon.

Although I don’t know how “they” arrived at this, If I remember correctly, i read somewhere that the number of undiagnosed people with schizophrenia in the US is 56%. (Or was it higher?)

It is quite high, so one half of people with schizophrenia is diagnosed, and another half is living with sz possibly without any medication.

Yes. The report insinuated they were undiagnosed by saying they were “untreated.” How would “they’” arrive at such a figure? It would seem to me that untreated is unreported.

I read an article saying in china it reaches over 90%

I haven’t been officially diagnosed with SZ, but my I am self-diagnosed schizophrenic. Since Im only 16 my doctor doesnt want to misdiagnose me but I am taking Abilif for the voices and its not helping one bit.
