Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental health disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It is characterised by a distorted perception of reality, including symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thinking, and severe cognitive difficulties. People with schizophrenia may appear to lose touch with reality and may struggle to communicate or perform everyday tasks.
