Causes & Risk Factors of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia does not have a single cause. It arises from a mix of genetic, biological, and environmental influences.
1
Genetics
A family history of schizophrenia or psychotic disorders increases risk.
2
Brain Chemistry
Imbalances in dopamine and glutamate neurotransmitters.
3
Prenatal Influences
Exposure to viruses, poor nutrition, or stress during pregnancy can increase the risk.
4
Substance Use
Frequent use of cannabis or stimulants, particularly in adolescence, may contribute to its development.
5
Trauma or Stress
Severe emotional trauma can trigger onset in vulnerable individuals.
6
Brain Structure
Differences in brain development and connectivity.
Understanding risk factors helps our psychiatric team design a more targeted schizophrenia treatment plan from the very first evaluation.
