Schizophrenia is significant mental illness that impairs person's ability to think, feel, and act. Schizophrenia patients may appear to be out of touch with reality. They may hear voices that others do not. Positive, Negative, and Cognitive symptoms are three types of schizophrenia symptoms. Schizophrenia can be caused by variety of factors, including genes, environment, or changes in brain structure. Schizophrenia affects less than 1% of general population, but 10% of those who have first-degree relatives with condition, such as parents, brothers, or sisters, are affected. Majority of people suffering with schizophrenia are not that aggressive; nonetheless, when schizophrenia is left untreated, risk of violence also increases. Neurodevelopment Hypothesis, Dopamine Hypothesis, and Glutamate Hypothesis are three possible biological theories for Schizophrenia. It's critical to assist someone with schizophrenia symptoms in receiving treatment as soon as feasible. Here Antipsychotic medicines and psychosocial therapy are two types of therapy that can help with symptoms. Family and friends may assist their loved ones with schizophrenia by assisting them in obtaining treatment and encouraging them to adhere to it.
