Respuesta :

Answer:

Environmental factors and genetic factors interact to determine whether a person is likely to develop schizophrenia.

Explanation:

Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disease that affects 1% of the world's population and manifests between 15 and 35 years. Symptoms of schizophrenia may include delusions, hallucinations, thinking and concentration problems, and lack of motivation. However, when these symptoms are treated, most people with schizophrenia improve greatly over time.

For years, scientists have tried to find out what causes schizophrenia, and after extensive research and studies related to this disorder, they have found that environmental and genetic factors interact to determine if a person is likely to develop schizophrenia, as you can see in the paragraph shown in the question.
