Can still be treated: Researchers state that a combination of genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of schizophrenia. If this is a question that you are asking about yourself, or a relative, spouse, or child, you might want to consult with a psychiatrist t find out if the symptoms confirm paranoid schizophrenia. There is hope for this condition!

Genetics: The risk of one identical twin having schizophrenia if the other twin has it is 50%. This is greater then the risk in the general population of 1%.
