A non-human transgenic animal exhibiting schizophrenic symptoms in which a polynucleotide encoding SREB2 whose overexpression in the brain causes schizophrenia and a polynucleotide comprising a promoter are introduced; and a method of screening for a therapeutic agent for schizophrenia, comprising the steps of administrating a test substance to the animal, determining a schizophrenia-related disorder in the animal, and selecting the substance exhibiting a therapeutic effect on schizophrenia are disclosed. According to the present invention, a model animal of schizophrenia in which the genetic background that causes schizophrenia is reflected, and an in vivo screening method for a therapeutic agent for schizophrenia can be provided.
