500000 people in the USA carry a very high suicide risk factor that can be effectively treated but isn't.
About half of people with schizophrenia attempt suicide... and 10% die from suicide.
Clozapine is the only drug that the FDA has recognized as having an ability to reduce suicide. It's the right treatment for about 20% of people with schizophrenia. But in the USA, only 4% get this uniquely effective and potentially life-saving medicine.
The fact that we have 4% of people with schizophrenia on clozapine, when we ought to have 20%, means that 16% of the 3 million people in America with schizophrenia are at risk of suicide... which could be prevented by simply giving them the right medicine.
