- Brain chemistry and circuits : People with schizophrenia may not be able to regulate brain chemicals called neuro transmitters that control certain pathways , or “circuits” of nerve cells that effect thinking and behavior.
- Brain abnormality : Research has found abnormal brain structure in people with schizophrenia .
- Environment : Things like viral infections , exposure to toxins like marijuana , or highly stressful situations may trigger schizophrenia in people whose genes make them more likely to get the disorder . Schizophrenia more often surfaces when the body is having hormonal and physical chages , like those that happen during the teen and young adult years.
