Schizophrenia is a complex and chronic mental disorder that profoundly impacts an individual’s thoughts, behavior, emotions, and perception of reality. It belongs to the category of psychosis, wherein the person struggles to differentiate between actuality and imagination.
The exact causes of schizophrenia remain elusive due to the heterogeneity of symptoms experienced by individuals. While genetic factors play a role (having a close family member with schizophrenia increases the risk), other factors such as stress, trauma, substance abuse, and birth complications are also associated with this disorder. Ongoing research endeavors to unravel the intricate factors contributing to this condition and improve treatments and support for those affected.
