What are the causes of schizophrenia?
<|assistant|>
There is no clear consensus on the exact causes of schizophrenia, but there is broad agreement among scientists that certain combinations of genetic and environmental factors play a role. It is likely that numerous different factors act in combination to cause the disorder, and many theories exist about possible triggers, including prenatal and perinatal factors, life-changing events, neurobiological and immunological processes, and social stressors. The majority of individuals diagnosed with the disorder experience symptoms in the teenage years or early twenties, suggesting that the onset of schizophrenia is related to a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers.
