Schizophrenia is an elusive and severe psychiatric disorder that affects up to 70 million people worldwide. The causes of schizophrenia remain largely unknown and there is no cure, though for some individuals the current treatments work well. There are multiple factors that increase the risk for schizophrenia, of which genetic factors are the most prominent, though not precisely identified yet.
