Schizophrenia is a complex, multifactorial disease that displays heterogeneous behavioral and cognitive syndrome (Lieberman & First, 2018). The origin of schizophrenia appears to lie in genetic and/or environmental disruption of brain development (Owen et al , 2016). In spite of current treatment that largely consists in antipsychotic drugs combined with psychological therapies, social support, and rehabilitation, developing more effective therapeutic interventions is an essential issue.
