Science Journals Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a mental
health condition that usually appears in late adolescence or early adulthood. Its impact on speech, thinking, emotions, and other areas of life can affect a person’s
social interactions and everyday activities. Schizophrenia is a fairly uncommon condition, affecting around 0.25% to 0.64% of people in the United States, according to the National Institute of Mental
Health (NIMH). It can have a profound impact on a person’s life, as well as the lives of those around them.
The symptoms usually emerge when a person is between their late teens and early 30s. They tend to develop earlier in males than in females.
In some cases, a person will start to show unusual behaviors from childhood, but these only become significant as they get older. In others, the symptoms may appear suddenly.
Schizophrenia is a lifelong condition, but treatment can help manage the symptoms.
Schizophrenia affects different people in different ways, but there are some common symptoms. These include:
· confused speech that is hard for others to understand
· lack of facial expression
· lack of emotional expression
· lack of motivation
· difficulty concentrating
· psychosis, such as delusions and hallucinations
