Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects the way a person thinks, feels and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem to have lost touch with reality, which can be distressing for them and their family and friends. The symptoms of schizophrenia can make it difficult to take part in everyday or normal activities, but effective treatments are available. Many people who receive treatment are able to take part in school or work, achieve independence and enjoy personal relationships. It is important to recognise the symptoms of schizophrenia and seek help as early as possible. People with schizophrenia are usually diagnosed between the ages of 16 and 30, after a first psychotic episode, which is a temporary “break from reality”. The latest medical research into people living with schizophrenia highlights key areas of progress towards a better understanding of the development and course of the illness and its treatments. Today, medicated patients receive the minimum doses for their treatment to which their illness responds, not the maximum doses that they can tolerate, as was traditionally done. Now, attention is paid to avoiding the stigma that patients with schizophrenia experience; so that they truly have a functional reintegration both in society, with their family and in the labor market.
