Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. While the symptoms can be challenging, it’s important to know that recovery and resuming a functional life are possible with the right treatment and support.

What is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia often involves episodes of psychosis, where individuals may experience:

• Hallucinations: Hearing, seeing, or feeling things that aren’t there. For example, someone may hear voices when alone.
• Delusions: Strong beliefs that don’t align with reality, such as thinking they are being followed or have special powers.
• Disorganized Thinking: Thoughts may seem jumbled, and speech can become difficult to follow.
• Negative Symptoms: Lack of motivation, withdrawal from social activities, or reduced ability to express emotions.
