Overview

Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality, which causes significant distress for the individual, their family members, and friends. If left untreated, the symptoms of schizophrenia can be persistent and disabling. However, effective treatments are available. When delivered in a timely, coordinated, and sustained manner, treatment can help affected individuals to engage in school or work, achieve independence, and enjoy personal relationships.

Schizophrenia is typically diagnosed in the late teen years. A diagnosis of schizophrenia often follows the first episode of psychosis. gradual changes in thinking, mood, and social functioning often begin before the first episode of psychosis, usually starting in mid adolescence. The symptoms of schizophrenia include altered perceptions, changes in vision, hearing, smell, touch and taste, abnormal thinking and odd behaviors. People with psychotic symptoms may lose a shared sense of reality and experience themselves. Hallucinations, such as hearing voices or seeying things that arent there. Delusions
