Schizophrenia is a chronic and disabling psychiatric disorder, affecting about 1% of the global population. It manifests through disorganized thinking, impaired social and occupational functioning, and a marked reduction in quality of life. Biologically, schizophrenia is considered a multifactorial illness, resulting from complex interactions between genetic, neurodevelopmental, environmental, and immunological factors. Increasing evidence suggests that neuroinflammation may play a central role in this pathophysiology.
