Alex

Answer:

There is no scientific evidence to prove that people with schizophrenia ingest dopamine capable of accumulating excess in the body.

This is because scientists have been striving to find the origin of this disease, in order to be able to combat it in the early stages. Although many scientists believe that the origin of this disease is associated with excessive intake of dopamine, there is not strong enough scientific evidence to show that this is true.
