Health Matters: The Genetics of Schizophrenia
BackDr. David Braff, Professor of Psychiatry at UCSD, discusses schizophrenia with an emphasis on the role genetics play in this disease. Schizophrenia is thought to result from a complex interplay of genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors. Understanding the genetic components of schizophrenia is crucial to finding out about the risk factors, and heritability of this illness. This may lend itself to the creation of more effective treatments. Series: "Health Matters" [4/2006] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 9903]

mental illnesses like depression and schizopfrenia are caused by addiction to masturbation.
Medical business spreads false info that masturbation is healthy and makes billions on selling drugs.
The cure is simple - it just takes 2 months without any form of sex to recover.
Pharma wants people to get ill and be ill
so don't expect them to tell the truth.
children commit suicides as parents are fooled by doctors and don't take care of them properly.
Get your life and health back my friend!

"When I was in medical school, back east at Yale"...
This guy really wants us to know that he went to Yale out east. He has mentioned this a few times in other shows. What's he so insecure about?

lol seriously, the nerve and ego of these two dickheads. seems to me that they're just in it for status and money... psychiatrists don't even know how schizophrenia starts. i ain't no expert but i think schizophrenia develops over time via trauma, loneliness, too much imagination and muteness (not socializing because of ridicule).some ppl can have one/two psychotic episodes in their lifetime but fully recover by adjusting their nutrition ,social life, and thought process.

psychotropic drugs never show good results in the long run (slow killers which kill the brain cells, lower IQ, and make you obese). my heart goes out to all ppl including my awesome friends who suffer from this problem, but have hope- exercise, meditate, take multi vitamins, avoid fast foods as much as possible, and hang out with good ppl

i have been labled paranoid schizophrenic and i have been on meds for 7 years now and they have greatly reduced my psychotic episodes and have helped me function in the normal world if you can call it that, so if you don't know shut your mouth ass.

Please go to Yahoo and type in "Horrible Truth About Psychiatric Drugs" to see a research paper exposing these drugs. Also so the search "Documented Proof Psychiatric Drugs Shorten Lifespan". Be sure to include the quotes. You will learn information no psychiatrist will tell you. These drugs destroy fertility and libido and cause impotence and extream disphoria and obesity. The promote suicide and violence not prevent it.
