What is the cause of Schizophrenia?

Researchers have agreed that schizophrenia is caused by a mixture of the persons genetics and the person's environmental settings. If schizophrenia runs in your family you may have a chance of getting it yourself. Although you cant do anything to change your genetics you can change some things in your life as a teenager; like not using street drugs, moderating amounts of alcohol, develop social skills as much as possible, avoid social isolation, keep social connections with adults, learn to look at the world positively, find ways to deal with stress and anxiety in a good way. Get professional help if needed.

    Nice job with this post. I voted in your polls, you would think since I am the teacher that I would know the right answer for the second question. Alas, I can't remember. I will look forward to checking back in and seeing the progress you make on your blog.
