Biological causes are mainly related to disruptions of the brain and can be genetic. A child can have an increased risk of developing Schizophrenia when:
A close family member has psychotic illness
His/her mother had her first child when she was a teenager or at a later stage of life
There are complications occurring before or during birth (e.g. premature labour, low birth weight and lack of oxygen during birth) - may affect the brain development of the child, such as abnormalities in the brain tissues
Therefore, it is very crucial to maintain not only the physical aspect of health but also the mental aspect. The care and concern that each individual gets from others around him/her is very important in contributing to his/her mental health. Every concern counts!Β
