What is definition of Schizophrenia in Mental Health Conditions?
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It is characterized by a combination of psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not there) and delusions (false beliefs), as well as social and cognitive impairments. The disorder typically emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood and can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to function in daily life. Treatment options usually involve a combination of medications, psychotherapy, and support from healthcare professionals and loved ones.
