What is Schizophrenia?

One of the most severe but less often treated mental health disorder
From Suspicion to hallucinations
From
Fear to anger
From
Loss of words to loss of thoughts
From
Lack of self care to lack of all desires

An illness which effects all aspects of life of a person
An illness which deteriorates healthy professional, social and family life to the dust

Three most common hinderances in its treatment
Unwareness , stigma and non compliance
On this World Schizophrenia Day
Be aware of illness to help others
Be aware that this is treatable and improvable condition
And
Be kind and supportive to the people suffering from it
