Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental health disorder that affects the way a person thinks, feels, and perceives reality. It often involves symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, disorganised speech, confused thinking, lack of motivation, and reduced social interaction. Schizophrenia usually begins in late adolescence or early adulthood and significantly impacts daily functioning, relationships, and emotional well-being. Although its exact cause is not fully understood, genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental factors play major roles. With timely diagnosis, appropriate medication, psychotherapy, and ongoing support, individuals with schizophrenia can achieve stability and lead a productive, meaningful life.
