There is no documented evidence that ecstasy (MDMA, or 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine) causes schizophrenia. What is more likely is that some schizophrenic individuals self-medicate their disorder -- consciously or otherwise -- by using MDMA, which was being investigated for its properties in treatment of emotional and mental disorders before it was criminalized in the 1960s.
