They have a lot of very good information on schizophrenia. The first three websites have booklets in pdf format that you can download and save for future reference.

There is also an excellent book, "Surviving Schizophrenia: A Manual for Families, Patients, and Providers" by E. Fuller Torrey, Fifth Edition. I know Barnes & Noble has it. Amazon.com only has the 4th edition. That is very good reading and tells a lot about schizophrenia.

My friend, he is Sz. He told me that he read a book written by a doc. This doctor studied mental issues from a soul standpoint and said "Schizophrenics and the way they are because there soul has a problem with the life plan of the body. Its a soul who never wanted to be in that body." That is just one mans opinon. Mine is more: Sz are the way they are because they resist to much to just go with it in life.

Genetics and often environmental trigger. I have bipolar instead of schiz, and in both illnesses, it's very rare to not have a relative with it.

Genetic predisposition + some environmental stressor that causes the genetics to kick in.

Nature + Nurture.
