Schizophrenia increases the probability of death of Covid-19 by 3 times
'The relationship of psychiatric disorders with death in Covid-19 patients' was investigated. The study conducted in the United States revealed that, after advanced age risk factors, the second largest Covid-19 risk factor is schizophrenia. Psychiatrist Recep Emre Tan, who evaluated the research, said: “Some of the causes of schizophrenia are immune system problems. The research showed that the probability of death from Covid-19 is 3 times higher in patients with schizophrenia." Tan suggested that these people should be in the priority group in the vaccination program.
