What is Schizophrenia?

Hallucinations:

Confused Thoughts and Speech:

Lack of Self-Care:

Schizophrenia is a mental illness that can seriously disrupt a person's behaviours, feelings, and thoughts.

People with schizophrenia can experience hallucinations which can cause them to see or hear things that are not there.

People with schizophrenia can experience delusions which can cause them to hold a belief or conviction based on something that is out of touch with their reality.

People with schizophrenia can experience their thoughts and speech becoming confused. An individual's thoughts may be jumbled or hazy, and they may struggle to concentrate on singular tasks. Others may feel as though they are not in control of their thoughts or speech.

People with schizophrenia may have symptoms that include, but are not limited to: a lack of personal hygiene; not being able to understand or relate to their thoughts and feelings; the desire to isolate themselves; not wanting to engage in things that may otherwise benefit their mental state.
