Abstract
Schizophrenia is a widely known mental disorder that can cause severe life struggles if not being treated properly. According to its diagnose, patients suffer from delusions, hallucinations, and other disorders. For treatment, antipsychotics are commonly used, but their efficiency cannot be promised due to the lack of knowledge about this illness. In previous studies, scientists had suggested neuronal, genetic, epigenetic, and immunological factors. However, to fully understand the mechanism of schizophrenia, there is still a long way to go for understanding how these factors interact and induce dysfunction.
