What does Chinese medicine think is the cause of schizophrenia?

1. Personality factors: Many scholars have noticed in their clinical work that 50%-60% of patients have some special personality characteristics before they get sick, such as being withdrawn, introverted, shy, suspicious, sensitive, illogical in thinking and fond of dreaming. According to this phenomenon, it is generally believed that the etiology of schizophrenia has a certain relationship with personality characteristics before illness.

2. Social factors: At present, the research results show that it is not poor residents who are prone to get sick, but people in this class have poor living conditions, and the treatment is not timely and thorough, which leads to conflicts with their families, leading to repeated hospitalization, which eventually leads to prolonged illness, thus affecting the course of disease rather than the cause, thus increasing the incidence of schizophrenia.

3. Mental stimulation: What role does stimulating sexual life events play in the occurrence of diseases? Some scholars believe that stimulating sexual life events will trigger the symptoms of schizophrenia patients and make them more clear.

4. Genetic factors: The lifetime expected prevalence rate of schizophrenia is 0.8% in the general population, but the lifetime expected prevalence rate of relatives of schizophrenia patients is much higher than that of the general population. The lifetime prevalence rate of children with schizophrenia is 46.3%, that of single-parent children is 16.7%, and the expected risk of siblings with schizophrenia is 10. 1%.
