Abstract

Schizophrenia is a common multigenic and debilitating neurological disorder characterized by chronic psychotic symptoms and psychosocial impairment. Complex interactions of genetics and environmental factors have been implicated in etiology of Schizophrenia. There is no central pathophysiology mechanism, diagnostic neuropathology, or biological markers have been defined for Schizophrenia. However, a number of different hypotheses including neurodevelopmental and neurochemical hypotheses have been proposed to explain the neuropathology of Schizophrenia. This review provides an overview of pathogenesis, genetic and environmental etiologies to diagnosis and treatment insights in clinical management of Schizophrenia in light of the recent discoveries of genetic loci associated with susceptibility to Schizophrenia.
