Schizophrenia is a mental health condition and common psychiatric disorder. Patients suffering from this condition are not able to distinguish their thoughts and ideas from reality.
Genetic causes remain unclear. However, people concern that the genetic risk is around 80%.
Only a psychiatrist can diagnose schizophrenia. They will make a diagnosis by asking questions about a person’s thoughts and feelings.
There is a lot of disagreement over whether the diagnosis of schizophrenia should still be used and whether focusing on the individual symptoms would be more helpful. However, it is important to remember that a diagnosis is not a label. It is a tool to help professionals decide what types of treatment and support may help. Diagnoses may also change over the course of someone’s lifetime.
