However, I would like to note that Schizophrenia per se is caused by multi-factors including genetic "as u kindly mentioned" and multiple neuro-transmitters including Dopamine, Serotonin, Norepinephrine & Gultamate, Hence, the efficacy of known typical & atypical antipsychotics in treatment of Schizophrenia.

I would like to also to note to the readers of such very informative clip that Schizophrenia is different from what cinema shows us .. it is a triad of disorder of thinking (delusions) + Third person auditory hallucinations + deterioration of function (e.g. dropping of social skills). As you see, this is very different from the common thinking that schizophrenia means having dual personalities which by the way is a rare disease known as Dissociative Identity disorder

Finally.. Thanks Mohir for your very informative clip , It brought to me many many nice memories back when I studied psychiatry
