PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an objective diagnostic method for schizophrenia using a gene expression as an index since a diagnostic method for schizophrenia is defined only by a psychological symptom study such as a delusion type, a dissolution type, a tension type or a discrimination incapability type even in DSMIV of the latest diagnostic criterion, the final diagnosis cannot but depend upon the subjectivity of a physician in charge and diagnostic accuracy is not sufficient. SOLUTION: This method diagnoses whether a testee is infected with schizophrenia or not and is provided with a process for collecting a specimen containing a nucleic acid and/or a protein from the testee, a process for determining a protein described in a table 1 and a table 2 (reference to the specification) or its fragment and/or at least one nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of a nucleic acid shown by a GenBank register number in the parentheses encoding the protein or its fragment and a nucleic acid complementary to the nucleic acid and a process for diagnosing whether the testee is infected with schizophrenia or not by using a determined value of at least one of the protein or its fragment or the nucleic acid as an index.
