Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It is a complex disorder that can have a profound impact on an individual’s ability to function in daily life. Symptoms of schizophrenia may include delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking, speech or behavior, and difficulty with memory or attention. People with schizophrenia may also experience a lack of motivation or pleasure in activities, social withdrawal, and difficulty with self-care. Schizophrenia can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and biological factors, and is often treated with a combination of medication, therapy, and support services. While there is no cure for schizophrenia, early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life. It is important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia.
