Schizophrenia: Symptoms, causes, and treatments.
Schizophrenia is a term used to describe a mental health condition that can impact on a person’s perception of reality and their behaviour. It affects about 1 in every 100 people in Australia. Schizophrenia is most often diagnosed by a psychiatrist (a doctor who specialises in understanding mental distress), who uses the diagnosis in deciding on the most effective treatment.
Schizophrenia is a serious brain disorder that distorts the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others. People with schizophrenia -- the most chronic and disabling of the major mental illnesses -- often have problems functioning in society, at work, at school, and in relationships. Schizophrenia can leave its sufferer frightened and withdrawn. It is a life-long disease that cannot be cured but can be controlled with proper treatment.
Contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia is not a split or multiple personality. Schizophrenia is a psychosis, a type of mental illness in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. At times, people with psychotic disorders lose touch with reality.
