What will be an ideal response?
It typically begins with a genetic diathesis (from heritability). Combined with early environmental stressors such as maternal stress and illness, obstetric complications, malnutrition, poverty, and the like, there are abnormalities in the organization and development of the central nervous system. Symptoms of these abnormalities are present early on, in the premorbid stage. Later, signs and symptoms such as social withdrawal and changes in mood and cognitive functioning emerge in the prodromal stage. Around this time, there is a pattern of excessive gray matter pruning corresponding with the onset of psychosis.
