Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia names a persistent, often chronic and usually serious mental disorder affecting a variety of aspects of behaviour, thinking, and emotion. Patients with delusions or hallucinations may be described as psychotic. Thinking may be disconnected and illogical. Peculiar behaviours may be associated with social withdrawal and disinterest. Diagnosis is based on the symptoms, with disturbances continuing for at least 6 months and on a change in the functional capacity. The forms of treatment include medication, psychotherapy, family-oriented and group therapy, and rehabilitation.
