The study, which examined a database of 34000 patients who have been detected with mental illness leading to hospitalization, was published in the current issue of American Journal of Orthopsychiatry.

The new study not only highlights the role played by socio-economic factors, but also the fact that people belonging to the lower social and economic strata may need more preventive care and guidance in order to improve the collective mental health of the society.
