Question

The relationship between the season of the year in which people are born and their subsequent risk of schizophrenia best highlights the role of ________ in this disorder.

Answer 1

This shows how viral infections can play a role. During seasons that have higher levels of viral transmission (winter most especially), the subsequent risks are higher for schizophrenia. This shows that there is a possible correlational link between these infections and a later diagnosis of the disorder.
