What Are The Causes
Biological
Brain chemical imbalances may contribute to schizophrenia. In addition, a person may be more likely to develop schizophrenia if someone in the family has it too.
Environment
Certain experiences in life, and stress, can trigger the condition, such as stress due to work- or school-related matters.
How It Is Treated
If you think you or someone you know may have schizophrenia, you should seek advice from a mental health professional.
Treatment comes in two main forms:
Psychological treatments: These are treatments that targets a person's thought process, coping skills, and his social environment in general. It is suitable once the person no longer experience an altered state of reality. Psychosocial treatments also help as the person is taught to better understand the condition and manage its symptoms. Finally, family members and caregivers are also encouraged to go for such education.
Medication: Your doctor may prescribe drugs that reduce and control the symptoms linked to Schizohprenia, helping the person regain a normal sense of reality.
