Schizophrenia is probably not a birth defect, as many cases of schizophrenia do not have any physical defects of the brain.

Is schizophrenia a type of birth defect?

Its a type of mental illness. Technically yes, it is a birth defect since schizophrenia has to do with how the brain develops before birth. The exact causes of it is not known, but its a certain area of the brain that is not developed properly. It also can be genetic as well as hereditary. If schizophrenia runs in families, or if a parent has the mental illness and the mother is pregnant, there's a 50% out of 100 chance that the baby could develop it and it usually is present before birth but symptoms don't start showing until the child is older. (for genetic schizophrenia, the child`s synptoms show at the age of two). Schizophrenia is very rare(especially childhood schizophrenia) and it only affects 1% of the american population eith the most being adults. it`s rare in both adults but is extremely rare in children and babies.
