What Is Schizophrenia & How Is It Treated?
Schizophrenia is a serious, long-term mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It may involve symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and difficulty concentrating—making daily tasks and relationships challenging.
With the right care, schizophrenia is treatable. A structured, clinician-guided approach can help individuals manage symptoms, improve stability, and lead more fulfilling lives through consistent support and personalized treatment.
At Ardent Behavioral Health and Total Wellness, our licensed providers offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, individualized treatment plans, and medication management. We provide both in-office and telehealth care, ensuring accessible and continuous support for every client.

Root Causes
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.
