The cause of schizophrenia is a mystery and despite intense research over the past 40 years, no physical cause has ever been identified. The diagnosis of the condition is based on history and clinical presentation. There are no laboratory studies or x-rays available that can help make the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is made, treatment is lifelong. Individuals who do not undergo treatment develop disabling thoughts, hear voices and are not able to function in life.
