The doctor makes the diagnosis on the basis of patient’s medical history given by the patient and his/her relatives. It is important to rule out other illnesses, as sometimes people suffer severe mental symptoms or even psychosis due to undetected underlying medical conditions. Laboratory tests like CT scan or MRI should be done to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms before concluding that a person has schizophrenia. |

Posted on: 05/20/2010 I am looking for a Schizophrenia Support Group to help my 51 year old son who seems to get no help. His father had Chromosome 17 Dis-inhibition, Dementia, Parkinson disease, Atrophy Complex which has been 50% inherited. It was thought until Dec, 2008 that my son had this disorder, however it was diagnosed as Paranoid Schizophrenia then. My son is very sick and I can't seem to get help anywhere. |

Posted on: 06/01/2007 Hypofunction of glutamatergic neurons has been hypothesized to caused schizophrenia. For example, see conclusions from the symposium entitled, "Not Just Dopamine Any More: Emerging Glutamatergic Therapies for Schizophrenia,"
Calcium deficiency may be a predisposing or causative factor in schizophrenia ?
This concept is based on the demonstration that „NMDA receptor hypofunction“ can be based on calcium-deficiency, potentiated by nutritional hypoproteinemia - chapter “Hyperfunction (Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson disease) and hypofunction (schizophrenia) of glutamatergic neurons”.
