Schizophrenia is a characterised by its chronic and often incapacitating course. Despite the advances in the knowledge of this disease, some aspects are still unclear, such as the factors determining its course and prognosis. The two main aetiopathological hypotheses, which try to answer these questions, are the neurodevelopment hypothesis and the neurodegenerative hypothesis, not mutually exclusive.

The present article critically reviews the current state of its knowledge.
