Little is known about the causes of schizophrenia, a disorder that is characterised by hallucinations and delusions, which often lead to other mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression. There is however, a clear genetic basis to the disease. This work gives researchers a target to aim for in the development of drugs to treat the disorder, paving the way for a new kind of treatment for … Continue reading Trinity Researchers’ Major Breakthrough in the Causes of Schizophrenia
