Physiology of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a complex mental illness which cause is not specifically known. Many factors are thought to cause the illness. Having a family member with the illness increases a person's to have a likelihood to develop the illness in their lifetime. According to The National Mental Institute of Health, schizophrenia occurs in 1% of the general population. In identical twins, the risk of the one twin that doesn't suffer from the illness increases by 40-65%. 10% occurs in people that have a close relative like a parent, brother, or sister and those with distant relatives such as a grandparent, uncle, aunt, or cousin are likely to develop the illness than the general population. Another possible cause of schizophrenia is an imbalance of the  neurotransmitters in the brain like dopamine. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that allow brain cells to communicate with one another. This chemical imbalance disrupts the person's ability to process information and function properly.

What is dopamine?

    Great blog! This one and your previous one sounds very accurate. I have two uncles who are both schizophrenic and they have many of these symptoms and also take antipsychotics. Its interesting to read that it has something to do with a chemical imbalance.

    Very interesting! So, the chemical imbalance that occurs in Schizophrenia, is that too much dopamine or not enough dopamine? How does this imbalance begin?
