Physiological illness is a deterrent for the patient and the family around him or her!
It has become one of the major health concerns today. The term Schizophrenia has come into use only recently, in olden days, the people suffering from this illness were considered possessed and were tortured.
Schizophrenia is caused due to imbalances of chemicals in the brain which leads to messages in the brain to mix up and cause havoc. People with Schizophrenia are split up from reality and cannot differentiate between reality and hallucinations
Individuals with schizophrenia think they are hearing things and believe someone is out to harm them!
People with schizophrenia may just sit for hours thinking and not moving and sometimes they talk to themselves about inane things. You cannot predict Schizophrenia, it appears without warning. Patients can cause harm to themselves or people around them.
