Is there a way to slow or stop the progression of brain damage in schizophrenics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get checked first: Schizophrenia affects one to two percent of people worldwide. There are many causes, including genetic make-up, prenatal viruses, brain damage, and prolonged exposure to trauma/chronic stress. Studies show widespread brain abnormalities in individuals affected by schizophrenia. Antipsychotic drugs are commonly used for treatment, but still more research is needed to understand this disorder.
