Schizophrenia Scientific Journals

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric condition that commonly occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood-though it may occur at any point of life. It is a mental disorder that is often characterized by an abnormal social behavior and lack of recognition of what is real. It is one of many brain disorders that may trigger delusions, personality loss (flat affect), uncertainty, anxiety, and isolation from society, paranoia, and abnormal behaviour. People with schizophrenia can hear voices that aren't there. Some may be convinced others will read their minds, control how they think or plot against them. This can seriously and persistently disturb patients, causing them to be removed. Schizophrenia is a serious brain condition, in which people abnormally perceive reality. Schizophrenia can lead to some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior. In contrast to popular belief, schizophrenia is not a split personality or multiple personality. The word "schizophrenia" means "split mind" but refers to a disruption of the usual emotional and thinking balance. Schizophrenia is a chronic condition which needs treatment for a whole lifetime.
