Abstract

This letter to the editors aims to discuss the findings presented by Kulhara et al. (2009) in the article "Is the course and outcome of schizophrenia better in the 'developing' world?". My conclusion is that this phenomenon relates to both protective and non-protective features of the developing countries.
