Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a surprisingly common mental disorder which stems from a breakdown in mental processing and retards emotional response.
Common symptoms of schizophrenia are confused speech, disorganized thinking, paranoia and delusions but also there are several other symptoms that can be confused with other mental disorders.
This disorder has been one that was very misunderstood by the medical community for many years and had only recently taken very great steps in being understood.
The cause of schizophrenia is not very well understood in the same way that many mental disorders are also not very well understood. People are often angry or shocked when they find out they have this disorder and it can actually cause fear amongst freinds and family because of the bad publicity it gets.
