I think you mean "schizophrenia." The exact cause is not known. Most experts say it is a mix of different things. Here are the main factors in simple words:

Biological
- Brain chemistry: chemicals in the brain (like dopamine) can be out of balance and affect thinking and feelings.
- Brain structure: some people show small differences in brain areas that handle thinking and emotion.
- Pregnancy and birth problems: infections, poor nutrition, or lack of oxygen before or during birth can raise the chance.

Genetic (family)
- Family history: having a close family member with schizophrenia raises the risk, but it does not mean someone will definitely get it.
- Many genes: no single gene causes it. Many small gene differences can add up.

Environmental and life factors
- Stress: big stress in life (loss, abuse, trauma) can trigger symptoms in people at risk.
- Drug use: heavy use of drugs like cannabis, amphetamines, or hallucinogens can raise the chance of psychosis, especially in young people.
- Social factors: isolation, poverty, and tough living conditions can make things worse.

How it works together
- Usually more than one thing plays a part. Genes can make someone more likely, then stress, drugs, or early life problems can start the illness.

If you want, I can explain any point in easier words or give examples.
