What would you attribute schizophrenia to?


What would you attribute schizophrenia to?

It is essentially an organic malfunction in a person's brain. The brain is an extremely complex organ we are only beginning to understand. Schizophrenia develops as a result of interplay between biological predisposition (for example, inheriting certain genes) and the kind of environment a person is exposed to. These lines of research are converging: brain development disruption is now known to be the result of genetic predisposition and environmental stressors early in development (during pregnancy or early childhood), leading to subtle alterations in the brain that make a person susceptible to developing schizophrenia. Environmental factors later in life (during early childhood and adolescence) can either damage the brain further and thereby increase the risk of schizophrenia, or lessen the expression of genetic or neurodevelopmental defects and decrease the risk of schizophrenia. In fact experts now say that schizophrenia (and all other mental illness) is caused by a combination of biological, psychological and social factors, and this understanding of mental illness is called the bio-psycho-social model.

toooooooo what

We will get back to you on that...

being dropped on the head at birth, too much reading into "holy" texts........

genetic predisposition and a precipitating crisis

Either lack of or too much of a certian neurotransmitter, can't remember at the moment.

Me of course!

I sincerely hope that the two "demon possession" answers we've gotten so far are from people who are kidding. It's almost 2008, and I'd be very disturbed to find that there are really people who have buried their heads that deeply.

Chemical imbalance in the brain

religion

A virus while within the womb, birth problems like asphyxia at birth, astrology (neptunian problems), faulty yoga practises, drugs, genetic predisposition, extreme stress, a society which denies spiritual experiences and pathologises anyone in contact with the unseen world

This is one of those 'Who's to blame' questions that a lot of Christians ask. They love blame.

I'm in two minds whether to answer this.

demonic opression and posession
