Schizophrenia

What It Is

Schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders affect how a person thinks, feels, and perceives reality. Symptoms may include hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking. These conditions can be frightening, but with proper care, stability and meaningful daily life are possible.

Common Symptoms

• Hearing or seeing things others don't (hallucinations)
• Strong beliefs not based in reality (delusions)
• Disorganized speech or thought patterns
• Reduced motivation or emotional expression
• Difficulty maintaining relationships or work performance
• Trouble with daily functioning
