I really recommend people interested in Schizophrenia to read the book “Hidden Valley Road”. I saw it recommended in a HN comment previously.
The book follows an American family who gave birth to 12 children, 6 of whom were later diagnosed with schizophrenia in their teens.
It’s interesting because the book gives lots of insight into the historical to modern research on the condition. In the past psychologists thought schizophrenia was caused by the environment and/or bad childhood. But most of the research right now is pointing towards a genetic cause.
