Schizophrenia May Begin in the Womb Says New Study

Schizophrenia May Begin in the Womb, According to Groundbreaking Study 🧠🧬

New research published in Nature Communications sheds light on a powerful connection between placental epigenetics and the early roots of schizophrenia.

Scientists now believe that chemical changes to DNA in the placenta—specifically DNA methylation—could influence fetal brain development and increase the risk of psychiatric disorders later in life. This discovery supports the influential neurodevelopmental hypothesis first proposed by neuroscientist Daniel Weinberger in 1987.

In this video, we break down how the placenta, long viewed as a passive support organ, may actually hold the key to understanding how mental illness can originate before birth. Learn how these findings could transform the way we approach mental health prevention and prenatal care.
