The SYMPTOMS
of SCHIZOPHRENIA include at least two of the following:
- Delusions
- this is false beliefs that won't change no matter how much evidence
you show the person.
- Hallucinations
- this can be hearing voices, or seeing things that aren't real.
- Gibberish
speech.
- Odd behavior
- for example wearing two hats.
- Withdrawal
- sitting in a corner with nothing to say, no opinion, and no facial
expression.
Males and females suffer with schizophrenia
about equally but men usually have their first episode their early
twenties while women tend to first show it in their late twenties.
Most cases start slowly with gradual signs such as loss
of interest in school/ work, withdrawal from friends and
family, strange behavior, and deterioration in dress
and cleanliness.
