Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that affects less than one percent of the U.S. population.

When schizophrenia is active, symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, trouble with thinking and concentration, and lack of motivation.

The complexity of schizophrenia may help explain why there are misconceptions about the disease.

Schizophrenia does not mean split personality or multiple-personality. Most people with schizophrenia are not dangerous or violent.

They also are not homeless nor do they live in hospitals. Most people with schizophrenia live with family, in group homes or on their own.

When the disease is active, it can be characterized by episodes in which the patient is unable to distinguish between real and unreal experiences.

As with any illness, the severity, duration and frequency of symptoms can vary.

However, in persons with schizophrenia, the incidence of severe psychotic symptoms often decreases during a patient’s lifetime.

Symptoms fall into several categories.

Positive psychotic symptoms: Hallucinations, such as hearing voices, paranoid delusions and exaggerated or distorted perceptions, beliefs and behaviors.

Negative symptoms:
A loss or a decrease in the ability to initiate plans, speak, express emotion or find pleasure.

Disorganization symptoms:
Confused and disordered thinking and speech, trouble with logical thinking and sometimes bizarre behavior or abnormal movements.

Impaired cognition:
Problems with attention, concentration, memory and declining educational performance.

Symptoms usually first appear in early adulthood.

Men often experience symptoms in their late teens or early 20s and women often first show signs in their 20s and early 30s.

More subtle signs may be present earlier, including troubled relationships, poor school performance and reduced motivation.
