Schizophrenia


Schizophrenia symptoms include distorted thoughts and hallucinations. Usually starting in young adulthood, schizophrenia can also cause the sufferer to feel frightened and paranoid. Schizophrenia is frequently misunderstood as split personality or multiple personality.

The main symptoms are:
Restless, noisy and irrational behaviour
Sudden mood changes
Disordered thinking
Feelings of being controlled by outside forces
Delusions
Hallucinations
Suspiciousness, which in some cases can become paranoia.

Schizophrenia treatment involves medications and therapy to reduce the risk of future psychotic episodes and improve relationships.
