I have just been told that my Mom, who is 80 years old, has Paranoid Schizophrenia. I don't understand where it came from. All I know is that my brother yelled at her a lot, kept her from seeing me, and threatened her a lot. Dear Friend, Fear or any other psychological factor does not cause Schizophrenia. The results now state that Schizophrenia is a biological illness.
Schizophrenia also has a hereditary role.
Birthing complications may also play a role in the causation of Schizophrenia. So far, the evidence points towards a biological basis for causation. That means that factors such as bad parenting do not cause Schizophrenia. Take care, and let's stay in touch. We have an adoptive daughter whose birth mother was diagnosed with Schizophrenia in her teenage years.
