Definition
[edit]Schizophrenia is a mental disorder, characterized by abnormal behavior, strange speech, and a decreased ability to understand reality.[1]
Symptoms
[edit]Other symptoms of schizophrenia can include false beliefs, unclear (or confused) thinking, and hearing voices that do not exist. There may also be reduced social engagement, and a lack of motivation.[1][2]
Associated mental health disorders
[edit]People with schizophrenia can also have additional mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, or substance-use disorders.[3]
Onset of symptoms
[edit]These symptoms typically come on gradually in young adulthood, and in many cases, they never resolve.[2][4] Males are also more likely to be affected than females and, on average, experience more severe symptoms.[1]

Cause
[edit]Even though a combination of genetic, and environmental factors play a role in the development of schizophrenia,[5] family genetics has the largest impact. For instance, the chances of someone acquiring the disease, if they have a parent, child or sibling who has it, is six-and-a-half percent.[6]
Environmental factors
[edit]Despite the impact of genetics, roughly 20% of the risk of the disease comes from environmental factors. These factors include, being raised in a city, certain infections, the age of a person's parents, cannabis use during adolescence, and poor nutrition during pregnancy.[5][7]
Genetic factors
[edit]The genetics of schizophrenia is equally complex. There are many rare genetic variants[8] known to be involved in schizophrenia, each with a small effect, and an unknown risk of transmission to children.[8][9]
Diagnosis
[edit]Diagnosis is based on observed behavior, the person's reported experiences, and reports of others familiar with the person.[4] During diagnosis, a person's culture must also be taken into account.[4] As of 2013, there is no objective test.[4]
Confusion with dissociative identity disorder
[edit]Schizophrenia does not imply a "split personality", or dissociative identity disorder. The two have been confused in public perception, but are separate illnesses.[6]
Treatment
[edit]The mainstay of treatment is anti-psychotic medication, along with counselling, job training, and social rehabilitation.[1][5]
Antipsychotic medication
[edit]When medication is used, it is unclear whether typical, or atypical anti-psychotics are better.[10]
Additional medication
[edit]If a person's disease is not well controlled with anti-psychotics alone, then clozapine may also be tried.[5]
Hospitalizations
[edit]In more serious situations, where there is a risk to themselves or others, involuntary hospitalization may be necessary. With modern treatments, admissions to hospital are now shorter, and less frequent than they once were.[11]
Epidemiology
[edit]About 0.3 to 0.7% of people are affected by schizophrenia during their lifetimes,[12] and in 2013, there were an estimated 23.6 million cases globally.[13]
Social effects
[edit]Unfortunately, few people with schizophrenia recover completely[4], and 50% will have a life-long impairment[14]. Because of this disability, social problems such as long-term unemployment, poverty, and homelessness, are common. [4][15]
Prognosis
[edit]Schizophrenia also lowers life expectancy, [16] because of the increased risk of suicide.[12][17] In 2015, an estimated 17,000 people worldwide died from behavior related to, or caused by, schizophrenia.[18]

Cannabis acts as a component cause of psychosis, that is, it increases the risk of psychosis in people with certain genetic or environmental vulnerabilities, though by itself, it is neither a sufficient nor a necessary cause of psychosis.
