Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by a range of symptoms, including hallucinations, delusions, and cognitive impairments. Understanding its etiology is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies. This research paper explores the interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental factors in the development of schizophrenia. By reviewing existing literature and analyzing empirical studies, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how genetic and environmental influences contribute to the onset and progression of schizophrenia.
