Question

I have a medical question which I hope you can answer or shed some light on it. My former sister-in-law developed schizophrenia when she was in her early 20s. Before her psychotic episode, she displayed some distrust of people but was otherwise fully functional. Afterwards, she was medicated (halodol) and was able to live on her own, but not well enough to hold a job. Here's the question: what "snapped" in her mind that caused this quick and dramatic change in behaviour? If her mind were wired as an automobile or electrical device, I would conclude a wire connection failed. So what happens in the brain, and why can't the damaged connection be removed or repaired to restore sanity?

Explanation / Answer

So, scientists think that in a majority of cases of Schizophrenia might be due to problems with how the brain is wired and the bare essentials of the brain
