Schizophrenia is a prevalent mental illness with a high recurrence rate, which has been highly regarded. However, the causes of schizophrenia are the focus of substantial research, but are still not clear. To understand what stimuli would lead schizophrenia to occur and recur, scientists have already researched numerous potential influence factors, not only external stimuli but also internal stimuli, and even both of them. This review will concentrate on one specific factor: parenting styles. Parenting styles are a potential influencing factor that has drawn large attention, which could be a cause of several kinds of mental disorders. Based on previous studies, the score of the scale about parenting styles has a positive correlation with both the occurrence and recurrence of schizophrenia. Thus, this review could conclude that parenting styles would influence the occurrence and recurrence of schizophrenia, which could be a specific field that future development of diagnosis and treatment could work on.
