Schizophrenia is at Least Partly a Inflammatory Response – MM1501
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a complex, heterogeneous disease characterised by psychosis, affecting approximately 1% of the population. Core negative symptoms of SZ include cognitive deficits, social avoidance and flat affect; positive symptoms include paranoia, hyperactivity and psychosis. Linkage analyses reflect a high impact of genetics on incidence of SZ, although environmental effects such as life events and prenatal and early development may contribute to the disease.
