Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental health disorder characterized by disruptions in thought processes, perceptions, emotional responsiveness, and social interactions. Individuals with schizophrenia may experience symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech, and impaired cognitive functioning, which can severely impact daily life and relationships. While the exact cause remains unclear, a combination of genetic, brain chemistry, and environmental factors is believed to contribute to its development. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for improving outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for those affected.
