Introduction

Schizophrenia still ranks among the first 10 leading causes of disability worldwide. Recent analyses show that there is a considerable treatment gap in schizophrenia in Europe and worldwide.

Objectives

To provide evidence-based information and give a concise overview of what is needed to overcome the treatment gap in schizophrenia.

Methods

Using a combined approach of systematic review and health economics was used to assess the socioeconomic impact of medical interventions (or the lack of thereof) for schizophrenia.

Conclusions

The case study analysis demonstrates socioeconomic impact and health gains of best practices in specific healthcare interventions for schizophrenia in comparison with the cost burden of current care or non-treatment.
