Yeah they can, it's called "Propfschizophrenia". They used to think that antipsychotics were causing the intellectual disability (which is what you should call it instead of retardation) but later research found out that it only happens because they're co-occuring. Usually however intelligence and Paranoid Schizophrenia go hand in hand.
