What causes schizophrenia

When i first started this research i knew nothing on my topic schizophrenia. But while doing this research I've learned a lot. There are so many questions out there that someone can ask abut schizophrenia and almost every question has an answers they just need to be found. But one of the last questions i have thought about schizophrenia is what really causes someone to have it.


So when i looked up my question a whole bunch of sites popped up and one that caught my interest was titled "Schizophrenia Cause and Prevention." As i started reading what was written on this link it basically told me what i needed to know but thing about it was i didn't really understand it fully. But what i did understand from this site was that when asked about experts agree that schizophrenia develops as a result of basically inheriting certain genes for their parents and also the kind of environment a person is exposed to. When did research if the brain development has been disrupted they now have it known to be the result of genetic predisposition and environmental stress of early in development such as during pregnancy or early childhood which lead to subtle alterations in the brain that make a person susceptible to developing someone to have schizophrenia. (What Causes Schizophrenia? )


So in my opinion what was said was basically doctor terms but if i were to rephrase this thought i would say that due to a when a person is born and what kind of genetics the baby inherited and the environment the baby is in it can cause a type of birth defect that can cause schizophrenia.

One of the main causes of non-familial schizophrenia and autism is advancing paternal age. Here are some links on this cause. http://autism-prevention.blogspot.com/search/label/advancing%20paternal%20age%20and%20sporadic%20disorders%2Fnew%20mutations
