A member asked:
Could you tell me what is the evidence that says dopamine is the cause of schizophrenia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's not: The Dopamine hypothesis was obviously not the full story even in the 1970's. Schizophrenia is a neurodegenerative disease, with particular nerve cells lost that are required for logical thinking and keeping dreams out of waking life.
