Scientists are doing their best to find out the exact causes of schizophrenia and for that they are
doing biochemistry studies, molecular biology studies and genetic studies.
One study has proved that in those who have schizophrenia a neurochemical imbalance is
present. Researchers are studying the neurotransmitters and are testing drugs like antipsychotics
on three of the neurotransmitters: dopamine, norepinefrine and serotonin.
Scientists also discovered that people with schizophrenia have problems with the coordination
between different areas of the brain. Normally when one area activates others decrease their
activity but in schizophrenics these areas keep on being active in the same time with others. Also,
during hallucinations of the patients researchers discovered some areas that manifested unusual
activity.
The research made in molecular biology showed that the schizophrenic patients had an irregular
pattern of some brain cells. Scientists thought that this pattern might lead them to a possible cause
of schizophrenia during the prenatal period or that it shows a possibility for a later development of
this disease.
It seems that schizophrenia is not a hereditary disease; this is what genetic studies have showed.
Some people believe that stress is the cause of schizophrenia. This is not true; stress only makes
the symptoms look worse but does not mean that it causes the disease.
Others believe that the cause for schizophrenia is drugs. The drug abuse only gives worse
symptoms of schizophrenia or triggers schizophrenia to manifest, but this means that the disease
already existed before drugs were taken. In healthy persons drugs only give symptoms like those
in schizophrenia but do not create the disease.
A lack of vitamins is not a cause for schizophrenia. Some patients suffering of schizophrenia took
vitamins after the disease had manifested and they got better but this could have been only a
good effect of the diet and vitamins and they would have recovered any way independent of the
followed treatment.
The only certain things scientists know until now about schizophrenia are that schizophrenia is a
mental disease, associated with biochemical changes in the brain along with physical changes.
This disease generally is unleashed in adolescence, mostly during the period of 16 to 25 and
seems to affect 1% of the world population. The existing medications are quite useful and they can
treat most of the schizophrenic cases.

2. Other things scientists are sure of are: schizophrenia is not a disease caused by traumas induced
by parents during childhood, or caused by poverty and does not refer to a split of personality
either.
