What is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental health disorder that affects how an individual thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia often experience symptoms such as hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that aren’t real), delusions (strongly held false beliefs), and disorganized thinking, which can impair their ability to function in daily life. Schizophrenia can lead to social withdrawal, emotional flatness, and difficulty managing personal relationships.
This disorder typically requires long-term treatment, which often includes antipsychotic medications, therapy, and supportive services to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
