Leon was a relatively successful attorney before developing schizophrenia. He has now stopped working and prefers to wander the streets in preparation for an "airlift" of humans by extraterrestrials. He has lost all his property and stays on the streets. His poverty has further aggravated his psychotic symptoms. Leon's story lends credibility to which hypothesis regarding the relationship between social class and schizophrenic symptoms? A. Social causation hypothesis
B. Milieu hypothesis
C. Downward social drift hypothesis
D. Double bind hypothesis

C. Downward social drift hypothesis

Explanation:

In the scenario, being described Leon's story lends credibility to Downward social drift hypothesis. This hypothesis states that there is a clear relationship between mental illness and social class, in which the illness leads the individual to have a downward shift in social class. This is the case with Leon, since he was an upper-class individual until he developed schizophrenia, which ultimately caused him to drop lower and lower in social classes. All the way down to homeless.
