Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It is characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not real), delusions (false beliefs), disorganized thinking, and reduced emotional expression. The exact cause is not fully understood but involves a combination of genetic, brain chemistry, and environmental factors. Schizophrenia can interfere with daily functioning, relationships, and work. Treatment usually includes antipsychotic medications, therapy, and social support to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
