Schizophrenia and Cesarean birth are associated (Verdoux et al., 1997; Boksa and Ei-Khodor, 2003; Fond et al., 2016). For instance, Verdoux et al. (1997) found that the incidence of early onset schizophrenia in a group of Cesarean births was 10 times higher than the incidence of late onset schizophrenia, which suggests that Cesarean birth is associated with the early onset of schizophrenia. The natural childbirth group did not exhibit this characteristic.
