Abstract

There are considerably more homeless mentally ill men than women. However the rate of mental illness among homeless women appears to be relatively greater than for men. We found the lifetime prevalence of schizophrenia among a cohort of 54 women residing in refuges for the homeless in inner Sydney to be approximately 30%. Only three of the women had a history of prolonged stay in a psychiatric institution. Schizophrenic women had resided at the refuges for longer than non-schizophrenic women.
