Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It can cause symptoms such as delusions (false beliefs), hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t there), disorganized thinking, and difficulties with emotions and social interactions. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it likely involves a combination of genetic, brain chemistry, and environmental factors. Schizophrenia often emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood and requires long-term treatment, including medication and therapy, to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
