Schizophrenia is a long-term condition that impacts the way people perceive reality. The brains of those with the disorder shift between what is real, and their altered view of what is real.
People are typically diagnosed between their late teens and early 30s, with signs and symptoms tending to appear earlier for males.
Though much research has been conducted about it, the cause of onset remains unknown. Among experts, it is believed that various factors are involved, including brain chemistry, and genetics.
