Abstract
The frequency of symptoms between urban and rural schizophrenic patients was compared in 275 consecutive admissions of schizophrenics, who were rated on two rating scales by psychiatrists, using a structured interview. There were significant differences between urban and rural schizophrenics; rural patients were more frequently apathetic, blunted, labile, angry, aggressive, negativistic and uncooperative, while urban schizophrenics were more often anxious, rigid, ambivalent, disoriented, conceptually disorganised and asocial. Significant symptom differences were also found for only older or younger schizophrenics.
