What is schizophrenia and how does it relate to the biological approach?
Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder or group of disorders that affects the normal functioning of the brain and severely impairs thinking, emotion, and behavior. Doctors do not know the specific cause of schizophrenia, but both environmental and genetic factors do play a role. The symptoms of schizophrenia are delusions, hallucinations, flat affect, and disorganized speech, thinking, and behavior.
