Answer:

Schuziopherania is a mental disorder that is a neural dysfunction of one of the projection pathways more specifically the Mesolimbic pathway which is helpful for the reward center as it transmits dopamine associated with pleasure and reward cognition.

In this disorder, the receptors present between the other parts of the brain and the region called limbic has an abnormal distribution. These receptors are known as D2 and in excess distribution lead to overstimulation which causes hallucinations and other overthinking and symptoms.

Affects:-

Result in MDD or major depressive disorder

Due to not understand social norms and language end in isolation

Irritation and stress because of the inability to express him/herself

social discomfort can lead to an embarrassing situation and lead to unemployment
