10 Causes of Schizophrenia
Cause #6: Birth Problems
Many problems can occur during birth that can impede a person’s ability to grow up healthy and happy. People with schizophrenia are more likely to have experienced one of these birth problems.
Babies who experienced a low birth weight or were born during premature labour are more likely to develop mental health problems, like schizophrenia, later in life. Babies who are born without enough oxygen – a condition known as asphyxia – are also more likely to experience problems with schizophrenia.
