Schizophrenia Disorder Awareness, Research and Resources
“With schizophrenia, we know that we are dealing with a range of disorders of varying severity which arise from a mosaic of one or more factors – genetic, biochemical, neurological – interacting in complex ways with the person's environment and personality.”― Anne Deveson

"Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects a person's thoughts, emotions, perceptions, and behavior. It is characterized by a combination of symptoms that can vary in severity and may include:
1. Positive symptoms: These symptoms involve distortions or exaggerations of normal thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors. They may include hallucinations (perceiving things that are not there), delusions (false beliefs), disorganized thinking and speech, and disorganized or abnormal motor behavior.
2. Negative symptoms: These symptoms refer to a loss or reduction of normal thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. They may include decreased emotional expression, reduced motivation and pleasure in activities, social withdrawal, and difficulties with speech and communication.
3. Cognitive symptoms: These symptoms affect cognitive processes such as attention, memory, and problem-solving abilities. People with schizophrenia may have difficulties with concentration, memory recall, and executive functions, which can impact their ability to plan and carry out daily tasks.
Schizophrenia usually emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood and can have a significant impact on a person's functioning and quality of life. The exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurochemical factors.
Treatment for schizophrenia often involves a combination of medications, such as antipsychotic drugs, and psychosocial interventions, including therapy, social support, and vocational rehabilitation. The goal is to manage symptoms, reduce the frequency and severity of relapses, and improve overall functioning and quality of life.
It's important to approach schizophrenia with empathy, understanding, and support. Educating oneself about the disorder can help reduce stigma and promote a more compassionate attitude towards individuals living with schizophrenia." (Source: ChatGPT 2023)
