I have my semesters tomorrow and everytime I read the Dopamine Hypothesis in relation to Schizophrenia it’s going over my head.
In: Biology
The dopamine hypothesis suggests that dopamine dysfunction plays a significant role in schizophrenia. Most antipsychotics (medications that are used to treat schizophrenia) reduce the amount of dopamine activity. The dopamine hypothesis does not say that schizophrenia is entirely caused by too much dopamine activity, but that it is a significantly contributing factor.
