title: Schizophrenia admissions have fallen.
abstract: The incidence of schizophrenia in England and Wales appears to be plummeting, according to research published last week. Doctors from the Institute of Psychiatry in South London say that over the last 34 years, hospital admissions for the condition have fallen by almost 50 per cent. The researchers offer no explanation for their findings, but state that misdiagnosis or greater emphasis on community care are unlikely to account for the results.
