Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, difficulty thinking, and a lack of concentration. When the disorder is active, patients may have a hard time distinguishing between real and unreal experiences. They may be unable to initiate plans, express emotions, become confused while thinking, or exhibit bizarre movements and behavior.
The disorder can be caused by any number of genetic and environmental factors and finding the underlying cause is a necessary step in helping patients improve their quality of life. Once this is determined, a psychiatric treatment plan can be customized. There is no cure for schizophrenia, but with the right approach, symptoms can be greatly reduced and those with schizophrenia can lead highly productive lives. Contact us today for help.
