Schizophrenia (from the Greek word σχιζοφρένεια, or schizophreneia, meaning "split mind") is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception or expression of reality, most commonly manifest as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions or disorganized speech and thinking in the context of significant social or occupational dysfunction. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, with 0.5–1.0% of the population affected. Diagnosis is based on the patient's self-reported experiences and observed behavior. No laboratory test for schizophrenia exists.
Studies suggest that genetics, early environment, neurobiology and psychological and social processes are important contributory factors. Current psychiatric research into the development of the disorder often focuses on the role of neurobiology, although a reliable and identifiable organic cause has not been found. Due to the many possible combinations of symptoms, heated debates are ongoing about whether the diagnosis represents a single disorder, or a number of discrete syndromes. For this reason, Eugen Bleuler deliberately called the disease "the schizophrenias" (plural) when he coined the present name. Despite its etymology, "schizophrenia" is not synonymous with dissociative identity disorder, previously known as multiple personality disorder or "split personality"; in popular culture the two are often confused.
Although the disorder is primarily thought to affect cognition, it also usually contributes to chronic problems with behavior and emotion. Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia are highly likely to be diagnosed with other disorders. The lifetime prevalence of substance abuse is typically around 40%. Comorbidity is also high with clinical depression, anxiety disorders, and social problems, and a generally decreased life expectancy is also present. Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia typically live ten to twelve years less than those without the disorder, owing to increased physical health problems and a high suicide rate. Unemployment and poverty are common.

It is a psychosis (the person is out of touch with reality), a sad mental condition for which there currently is no cure. There are different types of the condition but, the most common is manic/depressive (sever mood swings). There are a few medications that can be given but they have unpleasant side effects which, sometimes, causes the affected person to stop taking the meds causing another cycle of severe mood swings which can, depending upon the individual, be very serious. This disease affects others who are exposed to the individual as some of the mood swings can cause the affected person to inflict physical and verbal damage to others. It is nothing to be taken lightly. Perhaps, one day, a cure will be found.
What is schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a severe brain disease that interferes with normal brain and mental function—it can trigger hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and significant lack of motivation. Without treatment, schizophrenia affects the ability to think clearly, manage emotions, and interact appropriately with other people. It is often disabling and can profoundly affect all areas of your life (for example, becoming unable to work or go to school). Being told that you or someone you love has schizophrenia can be frightening or even devastating. The best way to improve your quality of life with schizophrenia is to learn as much as you can about this condition and then adhere to the recommended treatment.
There are several types of schizophrenia, and the specific types are diagnosed based upon symptoms. The most common type is paranoid schizophrenia, which causes fearful thoughts and hearing threatening voices.
Schizophrenia does not involve multiple personalities and is not the same condition as dissociative identity disorder (also called multiple personality disorder or split personality).
What causes schizophrenia?
There are many theories about the cause of schizophrenia, but none have yet been proved. Schizophrenia may be a genetic disorder, since your chances of developing schizophrenia increase if you have a parent or sibling with the condition. But most people with relatives who have schizophrenia will not develop it. It may also be related to problems experienced during pregnancy (such as malnutrition, or being exposed to a viral infection) that damages the unborn child's developing nervous system.
What are the symptoms?
Schizophrenia causes two groups of symptoms: negative symptoms and positive symptoms. Negative symptoms are capabilities or aspects of your personality that are "lost" with schizophrenia. Positive (psychotic) symptoms refer to characteristics that are "added" to your personality.
Negative symptoms generally include apathy or lack of motivation, self-neglect (such as not bathing), and reduced or inappropriate emotion (such as becoming angry with strangers). Negative symptoms usually appear first and may be confused with depression, and later with other conditions such as substance abuse or bipolar disorder. 1
Positive symptoms, which generally appear later, include symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized or confusing thoughts and speech.
Symptoms of schizophrenia usually emerge in adolescence or early adulthood. Symptoms can appear suddenly or may develop gradually, often causing the illness to go unrecognized until it is in an advanced stage when it is more difficult to treat.
How is schizophrenia diagnosed?
Schizophrenia is diagnosed primarily with a medical history and a mental health assessment. Other tests, such as blood tests or imaging tests, may be done to rule out other conditions that can mimic symptoms of schizophrenia.
How is schizophrenia treated?
There is no cure for schizophrenia. But many people can effectively manage their symptoms with medications and professional counseling.
Consistent, long-term treatment is critical to the successful management of schizophrenia. Unfortunately, people with schizophrenia often do not seek treatment or they stop treatment due to unpleasant side effects of medications or lack of support.
