Abstract :

Schizophrenia is a chronic severe mental disorder with poor prognosis, and lifelong health, social, and financial burden. To the recent time, scientists still try to understand the etiologic mechanism of the disorder. Neurodevelopmental theory emerged as a model to explain the etiologic mechanism of schizophrenia.  In the view of neurodevelopmental model, genetic and environmental risk factor of schizophrenia operate in prenatal periode, interfere in  early development  process of the central nervous system and emerge symptoms later in life. Known environmental factors in prenatal periode  that increase risk of schizophrenia are gestational diabetes, fetal growth retardation, rhesus incompatibility, preeclampsia, perinatal bleeding, some birth complication caused hipoxia, infections, nutritional disturbance, and maternal stress. Searching how prenatal factors work, would be a valuable contribution to understanding schizophrenia, and establishing a proper treatment, and posible prevention strategies in the future.
