Schizophrenia is an incredibly complex mental health condition, which has been recognised as a collection of different disorders. It has also been increasingly viewed from a developmental perspective, with full-blown psychosis representing a late stage of the disorder, raising hopes that early and intensive interventions will provide greater help to patients in the long term. There are many people with schizophrenia who do not have a family member with the disorder, and conversely, many others with one or more family members with the disorder who do not develop it themselves. Specialists believe that many different genes increase the risk of schizophrenia, but that no single gene causes the disorder; it is not yet possible to use genetic information to predict who will develop schizophrenia. The reality is that when there is a patient with schizophrenia, the family also suffers: there is emotional, physical and financial strain, as medications are expensive and the condition requires not only antipsychotics, but other chemicals to keep it under control. In Confidential Dialogues, specialists will inform us what schizophrenia is and what progress has been made in research into this disorder, which affects our mental health and quality of life.
