SCHIZOPHRENIA 2
I. Introduction
The term schizophrenia is defined as the mental health disease which causes a
consumer to hear, see and comprehend the world in a strange way. It is one of the
serious health disorders which also affect functions of the human body system along
with their behaviour (Dold, & Leucht, 2014). It is observed that consumers with
schizophrenia may have lost touch with reality and also affect how an individual thinks,
feels and behaves. The purpose of this report is to discuss the problem of schizophrenia
mental disorder along with their causes and treatments. This report mainly focuses on
the schizophrenia and identifies the risk factors linked with the schizophrenia disorder.
II. Thesis statement
Schizophrenia is a disturbing disorder with catastrophic causes, tragic effects
and has very little treatment that schizophrenics need to overcome in order to have
some kind of mental control over their lives.
III. Schizophrenia mental disorder
I. Causes of schizophrenia
It is analysed that schizophrenia mainly strikes between the age of 15 and 29 and
males tends to indicates symptoms at a slightly younger age as compared to the females.
Schizophrenia is one of the complicated disorders that are very difficult to understand
and identify the risk factors (Foster, Choi, Conn, & Rook, 2014). However, a recent study
identified that schizophrenia has numbers of negative impacts on the mind and it can
make consumers behave in a violent way. Evidence argued that genetic and
environmental elements act together to bring about schizophrenia which is growing
rapidly and numbers of consumers are suffering from such kind of problems. There are
the following causes of schizophrenia mental disorder:
Genetic inheritance
It is observed that schizophrenia disorder may increase from genetic factors and
any family member has such problem than their children can be suffered from the same
disorder (Grace, 2012). Therefore, the risk of schizophrenia rises to 10% if a parent was
diagnosed with schizophrenia mental disorder.
