Schizophrenia is a multifactorial disorder with biological and environmental causes. It is associated with abnormalities in the prefrontal cortex and enlarged ventricles. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking. Genetic factors play a prominent role in risk for developing schizophrenia. While there is no cure, treatment aims to control symptoms and reduce risk of relapse using antipsychotic medication alongside psychological and social support. An integrated approach is needed to help those with schizophrenia reach maximal social adjustment.
