- Schizophrenia is a disorder that affects or alters a person’s ability to think, feel and behave clearly.
- The exact cause of schizophrenia is still unknown, but a combination of genetics, environment and altered brain chemistry and structure may play a role. This disorder affects less than 1% of the US population.
- Schizophrenia is characterized by thoughts and/or experiences that seem out of touch with reality, disorganized behavior and decreased participation in daily activities. Difficulty with concentration and difficulty in processing memories may also occur.
- With treatment, symptoms of schizophrenia will substantially improve and the likelihood of a reappearance can be reduced.
