Schizophrenia is arguably one of the most puzzling yet disabling of all brain diseases. Prevalence of the disorder is 2.4 to 6.7 per 1000 population. It is characterized by features like hallucinations which means sensations without real sensory inputs. For example patients may hear voices when no one around him is actually speaking.
Similarly one can see people or things which are not there, can smell in absence of a source for smell or feel touch in absence of any. Then the patients also have delusions which are unshakable beliefs without any evidence for the same. For example patients may think that there are people out to harm them or discussing about them or they possess special power etc.
In addition to these, Schizophrenia patients are also known to live in their own world. They reduce interactions with others, lack interest in work or even activities of daily living. In some patients, their speech become irrelevant. People hardly understand what they are talking about. Many of them fail to maintain personal hygiene.
In absence of treatment, the disorder is debilitating making the patient incapable of a meaningful social, personal and occupational life. But with treatment, which is mostly pharmacological, most of them improve and can lead a near normal life. So early diagnosis and treatment is of utmost importance.
