Negative symptoms are [12]loosening of associations, lack of motivation, not talking, avoiding others and not being able to express emotions clearly. Often those suffering have minimal control over associative thinking and intersperses with rational thoughts. About 10 to 20 percent fully recover and less than half show moderate improvement (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). [13]Dopamine and [14]Glutamine are used to treat [2]schizophrenia which leads to the [15]Dopamine hypothesis. The [15]Dopamine hypothesis may cause [2]schizophrenia in the text[?] it states that the brain may produce too much [13]dopamine which may lead to [2]schizophrenia improvement (Kowalski & Westen, 2009).
