Why is there a high rate of schizophrenia in British Caribbeans?

G R Glover1.   

Abstract

Recent work strongly suggests a high prevalence of schizophrenia in young Caribbean men in the UK. While the aetiology of schizophrenia is not clear, it appears to have an organic basis. The hereditary patterns that have been described do not account for the pattern observed. Alternative explanations, including the possible influence of infectious agents, are being discussed.
