Why the hell should I bother? I didn't have to do this on the other forum, I'd rather have it the easy way, as would a lot of other users. Anyway
Pasted in notepad then here:

Causes
Main article: Causes of schizophrenia
A combination of genetic and environmental factors play a
role in the development of schizophrenia.[1][4] People with a family history of
schizophrenia who have a transient psychosis have a 20–40% chance of being
diagnosed one year later.[26]
Genetic
Estimates of heritability vary because of the difficulty in
separating the effects of genetics and the environment;[27] averages of 0.80
have been given.[28] The greatest risk for developing schizophrenia is having a
first-degree relative with the disease (risk is 6.5%); more than 40% of
monozygotic twins of those with schizophrenia are also affected.[1] If one
parent is affected the risk is about 13% and if both are affected the risk is
nearly 50%.[28]
It is likely that many genes are involved, each of small effect
and unknown transmission and expression.[1] Many possible candidates have been
proposed, including specific copy number variations, NOTCH4, and histone
protein loci.[29] A number of genome-wide associations such as zinc finger
protein 804A have also been linked.[30] There appears to be overlap in the
genetics of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.[31] Evidence is emerging that
the genetic architecture of schizophrenia involved both common and rare risk
variation.[32]
Assuming a hereditary basis, one question from evolutionary
psychology is why genes that increase the likelihood of psychosis evolved,
assuming the condition would have been maladaptive from an evolutionary point
of view. One idea is that genes are involved in the evolution of language and
human nature, but to date such ideas remain little more than hypothetical in
nature.[33][34]
Environment
Environmental factors associated with the development of
schizophrenia include the living environment, drug use and prenatal
stressors.[4] Parenting style seems to have no major effect, although people
with supportive parents do better than those with critical or hostile
parents.[1] Childhood trauma, separation from ones families, and being bullied
or abused increase the risk of psychosis.[35] Living in an urban environment
during childhood or as an adult has consistently been found to increase the
risk of schizophrenia by a factor of two,[1][4] even after taking into account
drug use, ethnic group, and size of social group.[36] Other factors that play
an important role include social isolation and immigration related to social
adversity, racial discrimination, family dysfunction, unemployment, and poor
housing conditions.[1][37]
Don't call me a retard you fucking schizophrenic.
