CHAPTER 1- INTRODUCTION
Background
The psychotic disorders are considered as characteristics by a disconnection from reality.
This can be considered result of psychiatric illness such as schizophrenia. Mental disorder can
affect the health condition of people and lead them to the sever conditions. There are different

illness in United Kingdom is very high. In the each people person is suffering from mental
illness. This is highly challenging for the country to improve the conditions of the people in the
country. There are total 792 million people are affected of mental health issue all over the world.
The cost of mental issues to the country is about 74 to 99 million each year. Due to mental health
issues different people suffer from losing their job. In UK there are about 300000 people have
lost their job due to mental illness. The cost that is estimated in England due to mental illness is

example dementia is known as one of the most famous mental health issue in world. This is
known as progressive neurological disorder that does not occur before age of 30. Among the
group of people who are suffering from mental illness there are 70 to 75 people diagnosed with
mental illness that receives no treatment at all. Since year 1993 the cases of mental illness are
continuously increasing in United Kingdom. This increment is continuous in span of 1993 to
2014. In the case of women they are more likely to be suffering from mental illness. Women in
UK are more diagnosed with mental illness. The number of women infected in country are more

in each group. But in case of the men, suicidal rate is high in men. Mental problems stats at early
age but with getting older the metal health issues are more frequent and common. In old age
people 3 out of 4 people are suffering with mental illness. In middle aged people each one out of
two person is suffering mental illness. In children conditions of mental illness is less frequent
and in cases of children 1 out of 10 children is suffering from mental illness. The main issue is
related to the funding condition where the health care organization do not have enough financial
resources to provide better care to the people who are suffering from mental illness. This is
important for the government and health care organization to improve the health conditions that
can help the people who are suffering from different health conditions. The attitude of people is
now getting better with the time. People are showing more positive attitude for health conditions.
These is how it is highly challenging for the UK government to improve the health standards in
the country to reduce the number of mentally ill people in United Kingdom.
Aim & Objective
The main aim and objectives of the research project are-
Aim
“To analyse the risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders among young
me aged 16-25 in the UK.”
Objective
 To analyse the protective and Risk factors for psychotic disorder for people.
 To analyse various risk factors in Psychotic disorder in individual person aged 16 – 25.
 To evaluate the process overcome the risk factors in the people who are facing psychotic
disorder.
 To evaluate the ways to improve the health condition of people who are suffering from
psychotic disorder.
