- Positive symptoms include delusions and hallucinations, while negative symptoms include flat affect and disorganized thinking or speech.
- There is a strong genetic component to schizophrenia, and schizophrenia runs in families.
- Neurodevelopmental abnormalities, including enlarged ventricles, increased sulci size, and hypofrontality, have been identified in individuals with schizophrenia.
- Neurotransmitter dysfunction, specifically dopamine and serotonin, is implicated in individuals with schizophrenia.
- Behavioral theories, such as parental confusion, imitation of maladaptive behaviors, and dysfunctional family dynamics, have been proposed to explain the cause of schizophrenia.
