.
Twins?
40
to 65 percent
chance
Despite some
genetic role, no gene causes the disease by
itself.
Scientists
think interactions between genes and the environment are necessary for schizophrenia to develop.
Many
environmental factors may be involved, such as exposure to viruses or malnutrition before birth, problems during birth, and other not yet known psychosocial factors.

Slide16Explaining Schizophrenia
Psychological Views
Result of overwhelming of the ego by urges from the id.
Fantasies become confused with reality.
Family environment may spur disease, but does not cause it
.
Biological Views
Studies try to link abnormal brain functioning and structure with specific symptoms.
Heredity, complications during pregnancy and birth, and birth during winter were all shown to affect rates of schizophrenia
.
Multifactorial Model
Biological and psychological factors may interact in development.
The model suggests that even severely dysfunctional environmental factors are not enough to lead to the disease.
