What is schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition that affects the way a person thinks, acts, and feels. It can also interfere with a person’s ability to think clearly, manage emotions, make decisions, and relate to others. It affects around 2.8 million adults in the U.S., yet each person's experience is different.
People with schizophrenia are typically diagnosed in their late teens to early twenties, with women generally experiencing symptoms slightly later than men.
Schizophrenia affects people of all ages, but with treatment, it can be managed.
Symptoms of schizophrenia typically fall into 3 main categories
Positive symptoms are additional experiences that your brain creates
Negative symptoms are like missing pieces of your usual self
Cognitive symptoms affect how you think and process information
This is not a complete list of symptoms, and everyone living with schizophrenia experiences symptoms differently.
