Why people get schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is caused by many factors, including genetic factors, environmental factors and biochemical factors.

1. Genetic factors

Schizophrenia is inherited, if there is a family history of schizophrenia, then the possibility of future generations will increase.

2. Environmental factors

Some stressful events in life, such as unemployment, death of relatives, divorce, etc., may also become a predisposing factor for schizophrenia. In addition, long-term exposure to high pressure, stressful environment, or adverse experiences such as abuse and neglect may also increase the risk of schizophrenia.

3. Biochemical factors

Abnormal neurotransmitters in the brain may also lead to schizophrenia. For example, abnormal levels of dopamine, serotonin and other neurotransmitters may be related to the occurrence of schizophrenia.

Please note that these causes are not single, but interact and jointly influence. Therefore, for the treatment and prevention of schizophrenia, it is necessary to consider multiple factors and take comprehensive treatment measures.
