Is Schizophrenia a brain disease?

Schizophrenia - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic

Studies support schizophrenia as a progressive brain disorder involving glutamate and dopamine. Wouldn’t natural treatments to correct whatever is causing the imbalance be more helpful than short-term treatments like anti-psychotics that mimic normal brain chemistry but dont actually correct and fix it?

Do you know any natural treatments that ever really fixed anything? I think if that was the case we wouldn’t have doctors imo.

Anything that stimulates nerves and helps restore natural chemistry would probably be beneficial. I dont specically now how neurochemical transmitters work so I cant say what could permanently restore their functions, or how that would be measured.

Im not sure how effective vitamins and orthomolecular therapy is as its discredited I believe, but what really regulates chemistry–glutamate is a type of sugar, perhaps in the realm of sugar and glucose…

Maybe something like a permanent anti-psychotic without side effects would be better.

That’s the case for many illneses. My heart meds can help compensate for the heart damage, but they can’t repair it. That requires organ replacement.

You want a new brain?
