What is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and perceives reality. It is a biological illness, much like diabetes or heart disease, and it requires specialized, consistent medical intervention to manage effectively.

While a schizophrenia diagnosis can feel overwhelming for both the patient and their family, it is highly treatable. With the right advancements in antipsychotic medications and a strong support system, individuals with schizophrenia can achieve deep stability and engage fully in their communities.

Common Signs of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia symptoms generally fall into categories of altered reality (positive symptoms) and reduced emotional expression (negative symptoms), including:

  • Hearing or seeing things that others do not (Hallucinations)
  • Holding firm beliefs that are not based in reality (Delusions)
  • Disorganized thinking or difficulty organizing speech
  • A noticeably flat emotional affect or lack of facial expression
  • Withdrawing from social interactions and daily life
  • Difficulty with memory, attention, or executive function
