Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a severe and complex mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It can lead to a range of symptoms, including hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and reduced emotional expression. Individuals with schizophrenia may struggle with reality perception, often experiencing a disconnection from their surroundings. These symptoms can profoundly impact their daily functioning and relationships. Schizophrenia typically emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood and requires lifelong treatment, often including a combination of medication and psychotherapy, to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
