What Is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a mental illness that affects a person’s ability to think, react, express emotions, relate to others and perceive reality. It also impacts a person’s social interactions, making it difficult for a patient to maintain positive relationships.
Individuals with schizophrenia may find it difficult to distinguish between hallucinations and reality. Understandably, they may also have difficulty keeping a job. Schizophrenia is often characterized by three categories: paranoid schizophrenia, disorganized schizophrenia, and catatonic schizophrenia.
