Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a long-term mental health condition that causes a range of different psychological symptoms. It is often referred to as a type of psychosis, where the person may not always be able to distinguish their own thoughts and ideas from reality.
In men schizophrenia usually begins between the ages of 15 and 30. In women, schizophrenia usually occurs later, beginning between the ages of 25 and 30.
The exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown. However, most experts believe that the condition is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
