What causes scizophrenia?


Question:
Can a person become scizophrenic from a early childhood head injury?

Answers:
Yes, that is one of the causes.

"Individuals with schizophrenia are twice as likely to have suffered childhood head injury than their healthy siblings, say scientists from Canada.Researchers from the universities of Toronto and Waterloo, both in Ontario, also found that children with a genetic predisposition for schizophrenia appeared to develop the mental disorder earlier if they received a mild head injury during childhood."
It appears that schizophrenia is not necessarily caused by head trauma, but the mechanics are still vague and uncertain
