They were followed to the end of the year 1987 with particular emphasis on preventive measures. The majority of these schizophrenic patients experienced serious difficulties in achieving a satisfactory quality of life. Over half of them never married, 32% of those who married had divorced and a similar number had lost the support of their families. Patients who underwent treatment improved but only 29% achieved an acceptable level of health. Such figures point to the fact that changes are required in basic treatment structure if this situation is to be altered. A serious shortage of compliance emerged both among patients and their relatives. This shortage had a serious effect on outcome. The necessity for specific methods of prevention is emphasized.
