Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a complicated mental health problem that is hard to make sense of put together; many people tend to confuse Schizophrenia with multiple personality disorders, but has no connection with it whatsoever. "Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe mental disorder that affects the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others" (Bhandari, 2022). It can also be defined as: "Schizophrenia refers to both a single condition and a spectrum of conditions that fall under the category of psychotic disorders" (Cleveland Clinic, 2018).

"When schizophrenia is active, symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, trouble with thinking and lack of motivation" (American Psychiatric Association, 2020).
