\"Schizophrenia\"<\/p>\n

Schizophrenia, a chronic psychiatric disorder, affects 20 million people globally but is not as common as other mental disorders. People suffering from this disorder often struggle with distortion of reality, encountering hallucinations or delusions.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to reports, about 1 percent of the population is affected by Schizophrenia. Nevertheless, exact estimates are difficult to obtain, as many people do not even opt for treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many misconceptions about this disorder. For instance, some people believe it creates a ”split personality.” But as a matter of fact, Schizophrenia and split personality \u2014 also known as dissociative identity disorder \u2014 are completely different conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The disorder can occur in both men and women, that too of all ages. Based on studies, men usually develop symptoms in their late teens or early 20s. However, women tend to exhibit signs in their late 20s and early 30s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, near ones or friends will identify quickly on that; something is not right without knowing precisely what.<\/span><\/p>\n

The patient may begin to seclude themself, start neglecting appearance, say outlandish stuff, and confer a common indifference to life. They may seem to quit their activities and hobbies, and crucially their performance at work or school can deteriorate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
