ABSTRACT

Related to the schizophrenia etiology, a review is done to a scientific thought and studies concern to the interaction of genetics and environment in the appearance of this disease are accentuated. The influence of the technological development in the research of mental diseases is underlined. It is also emphasized the importance of the antenatal study of schizophrenia. There are analyzed the theory based on infection of this disease and the fetus planning at molecular and cell level. Through directed researches during the antenatal stage, the importance of this disease is showed and in consequence, the necessary measures to avoid its eventually appearance.
