📖What is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, often causing a distorted perception of reality including hallucinations and delusions. It typically emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood and follows a variable course, with some individuals experiencing periodic episodes and others facing more persistent symptoms. The condition significantly impacts a person's ability to function in daily life, relationships, and work if not adequately treated. With appropriate long-term treatment and support, many individuals with schizophrenia can achieve meaningful recovery and stability.
