The most commonly diagnosed mental illness in Grenada is schizophrenia. A review of the patients of the Mt Gay Psychiatric Hospital, the only such facility in the country, found that 24 per cent of those admitted had psychiatric disorders attributable to psychoactive substance misuse (2007). Neuropsychiatric disorders contributed an estimated 17 per cent of the global burden of disease in 2008. In 2008 the suicide rate for males was 9.8 per 100,000 people, while for females it was 1.9 per 100,000 people.
