From the Ted Talk by Anees Bahji: What is schizophrenia?
Unscramble the Blue Letters
So what causes the onset of psychosis? There likely isn’t one single cause, but a cnamtiiobon of genetic and environmental risk factors that contribute. Schizophrenia has some of the strongest genetic links of any psychiatric illness. Though about 1% of people have schizophrenia, children or slibngis of people with shizcnoreipha are ten times likelier to develop the disease, and an iatndceil twin of someone with schizophrenia has a 40% chance of being affected. Often, immediate relatives of ppleoe with schizophrenia exhibit milder versions of traits associated with the disorder— but not to an extent that requires treatment. Multiple genes almost certainly play a role, but we don’t know how many, or which ones.
