There are about 100 neurotransmitters in the brain charged with carrying messages from the end of one nerve branch to the cell body of another. In the brain of a person with schizophrenia, something goes wrong with this system of communication. Notably, two neurotransmitters play a substantial role in the development of schizophrenia. They include DOPAMINE and SEROTONIN. An increase in dopamine in certain areas of the brain results in overstimulation and excess sensory information that causes difficulty with concentration, thought process, reality orientation, feelings and behaviors besides, any abnormalities in serotonin activities results in a sensitive brain, to appear as if the nerve cells were sandpapered, thus leading to schizophrenia. The action of dopamine and serotonin explains why the patient in this case scenario experiences episodes of unexpected rage and crying.
