Does anyone know what causes schizophrenia? I keep thinking that I’ve done something to bring it on myself
Nobody actually knows, but it’s thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors such as stress/illness on the mother in the womb, childhood trauma, drug use, high levels of stress, etc.

It’s a mix of genetics and environmental factors that play into schizophrenia. Like mine was likely caused by anorexia and coming off a antihistamine too fast. Don’t beat yourself over it.
Probably genetics, I never did drugs or alcohol before I got sick

Drug use, drug use, drug use!
Drug use does not give you sz but they can cause drug induced psychosis
Yes it does. Why did I get it? It’s not in my family (either side) I had anxiety and mild depression after the drug use but before the sz, so it leads to sz eventually…in some people
Show me one study that says there’s a causative effect btw drugs and sz
Hash,weed,cocaine and ecstasy caused my sz. That’s what my pdoc says so I think I’ll side with him over your study’s. Cmon it’s common sense…well it should be
Your dr is just wrong. There are tons of people that take drugs and they don’t cause sz
It’s possible that he meant your drug use triggered it so it came on sooner, but it cannot be caused by drug use
I was never gonna get sz without taking drugs, where are the study’s that say it doesn’t cause it?
That’s a forum thread
