Document Summary

Delusions: false beliefs based on incorrect inferences about reality. Hallucinations: false sensory perceptions that are experienced without an external source. Disorganized speech: speaking in an incoherent fashion that involves frequently changing topics and saying strange or inappropriate things. Twin, adoption and family studies have highlighted the critical role of genetics in the development of schizophrenia and recent advances in genetic analysis have indicated that multiple genes may contribute to this disorder. Research has also shown that schizophrenia is associated with abnormalities in brain anatomy and neurotransmitters: most researchers agree that environmental factors play a role in schizophrenia. In particular, environmental stressors such as dysfunctional family dynamics, urban stress and expose to pathogens may contribute to the genesis of schizophrenia: antipsychotic drugs are recommended for the treatment of schizophrenia. Social facilitation: when something is well practiced, the presence of others helps you do better.
