Abstract in brief

  • Neurosteroids are natural brain molecules that influence neural functions and may play a role in the development and symptoms of schizophrenia (SZ).
  • The review discusses how neurosteroids interact with brain systems, especially GABA receptors, and highlights their potential as treatments for SZ, supported by some preclinical and clinical studies.
  • Future research with larger groups is needed to better understand the therapeutic potential of neurosteroids and their role in managing SZ symptoms.]
