Professor
 2 million people (1.5 % of Population)
 Costs $ 35 billion
 Onset late adolescence or early adulthood
– Men 15-25
women 20-35 & > 50
 Psychotic disorders with disturbances in:
– Thought processes
– Perceptions
– Expression of feelings
Indicators

– Ambivilance
Etiology
 Genetic
– Abnormal marker gene on chromosome # 5
– Heredity determines one’s predisposition
 Both parents schizophrenic = 20-50 % ↑↑ risk
 Identical twins = 50-75 % ↑↑ risk for sibling
 Biochemical

Altered Neuroanatomy ▲s in cortex
↑↑ DA activity (2x DA receptors) = Psychosis
↓ AcH = ↑ Confusion,
↓ NE = Anhedonia
