This approach focuses on genetics‚ neurochemistry‚ the nervous and the endocrine systems‚ and brain structure. Our biology can affect us due to our genes as we can inherit a faulty gene which predisposes us to develop a particular disorder as we grow older‚ unfavourable environments can trigger the faulty gene to develop

Task: Discuss two or more biological explanations for the development of schizophrenia. One biological explanation for schizophrenia is genetics.
