Is there evidence that social class at birth increases risk of psychosis? A systematic review

Conclusion: There is not enough evidence to support the association between social class and psychosis. While some findings showed an association between low social class and psychosis, there were a number of conflicting studies showing no association or a link with higher social class. Interestingly, the results followed a temporal pattern, as all the studies conducted after 2001 supported an association between low SES at birth and psychosis. Four of the six studies employed a prospective design with large sample populations, indicating the need for further investigation.
