What’s the statistic for suicide?

For sz I think its 5% but some sources say up to 10%. I read Borderline personality disorder has a higher suicide rate than sz.

What is the suicide rate among schizophrenics?

Individuals affected by schizophrenia (40–79%) have had suicidal ideation at least one time during the course of illness (5, 6). Also, in schizophrenia, the estimated suicide rate is 579/100,000 person years and the lifetime risk of suicidal death is 5.6%

I’ve been on meds almost continually since I was 19. I didn’t get fat. I am already 72 years old.

Don’t type on schiz.com if you’re high.
