not necessarily, although there's something that I remember of reading about auditory hallucinations that is really frightening if you think about it
Is a study where the supposed areas of the brain that should be hyperactive during the auditory hallucinations weren't really active not even in the slightest in the schizophrenic patients, the areas responsible for hearing however were
I don't know if the study got debunked by new ones, there's one that say that there's higher blood flow specifically to these areas, but doesn't mean much
regarding your comment, there's religious genes, which would explain your question since most countries are still religious and have religious practices so it just furthers and express epigenetic factors
not really, neuroinfections, brain damage and drugs can cause psychosis too
schizophrenia is one of the few mental condition that is really real, and is pure torture for most patients
it's ironic saying they're chosen by "God" since most will end a way or another in a psych ward being tortured by high doses of drugs, homeless, risky behavior leading to death etc...
I'll make sure to spell check my blasphemy next time
