Over a century, a wide-ranging variety of pathophysiological models and causal hypotheses have been conceptualized for schizophrenia. One among these is the role for free radical-mediated pathology in schizophrenia, indicating impaired antioxidant defense system (AODS) and presence of oxidative stress in patients with schizophrenia. For the past two decades, the whole investigative domain of AODS and oxidative stress has broadened to include the wider AODS components, direct central nervous system assays of AODS, chemical imaging studies, proteomics, genetics of AODS, and, of importance to sufferers of schizophrenia, antioxidant therapeutics. These are some of the perspectives that are reviewed by several articles in this Forum. Overall, there has been growing recognition of the importance of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and in treatment-related side effects. The totality of the evidence from biochemistry, metabolomics, proteomics, genetics, and in vivo brain imaging points to the presence of multifarious abnormalities in the AODS and redox signaling in schizophrenia.
