Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels and behaves. It is marked by a distorted view of reality, including delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and socially inappropriate behavior. Along with these signs and symptoms, people with schizophrenia may struggle with difficulty with employment, housing, and social functioning, and have a significantly increased risk of suicide. The causes of schizophrenia are not yet fully understood; most likely, it arises from a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Symptoms usually start in early adulthood, and the disorder can become more severe over time and interfere with day-to-day functioning. Some people experience only one episode during their lifetime; for others, symptoms may come and go or worsen. Fortunately, there are treatments available for people with schizophrenia. Antipsychotic medications are the mainstay of therapy. They are believed to work by blocking specific receptors in the brain that cause the altered thinking and behavior characteristic of schizophrenia. Other treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychoeducation are also central to managing the condition and can help people with schizophrenia better cope with its symptoms. Living with a mental health condition such as schizophrenia can be very challenging. It is important to remember that there is help available, and that managing the illness effectively is possible. With proper treatment, support, and self-care, individuals with schizophrenia can live meaningful lives.
