TL;DR
Community level of psychotic and psychosislike symptoms may be inextricably linked to the prevalence of psychotic disorder, regardless of the level of urbanization.
Abstract
Community level of psychotic and psychosislike symptoms may be inextricably linked to the prevalence of psychotic disorder. The prevalence of abnormal mental states that facilitate development to overt psychotic illness increases progressively with level of urbanization.
