Understanding Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that influences the way individuals perceive reality, process thoughts, and interact with others. There are three types of symptoms categorized under schizophrenia:
- Positive Symptoms: Hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized speech or behavior.
- Negative Symptoms: Poor expression of emotions, apathy, and social withdrawal.
- Cognitive Symptoms: A short attention span, poor memory, and decision-making ability.
While the exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown, factors like genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental triggers are known to be at work. Effective management of the condition is through early diagnosis and consistent treatment.
