"Three Theories of Schizophrenia in the Early 21st Century Introduction Schizophrenia continues to generate tremendous research towards several breakthroughs in our knowledge of developmental and genetic differences, in addition to biochemical research rendering abnormalities identifiable. Unfortunately, few patients are examined according to this knowledge until perhaps severe symptoms, positive and negative, have been presented, in visual and other hallucinations, non-motivation, social withdrawal, acute agitation, disordered thinking, paranoid delusions and emotional decay. A most controversial diagnosis of the present is evaluated in terms of changes to the normal personality, in patients who usually do not present symptoms till adolescence, or beyond."
