Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that impairs your perception of reality. There are five types of schizophrenia - the most common being the paranoid schizophrenia, where the person suffers from delusions (a stubbornly fixed false belief - eg that someone is trying to kill you) and hallucinations (of 5 senses - though the most common being auditory where you hear sounds or people talking in your head).

A person suffering from paranoia schizophrenia usually does not suffers from thought disorder (e.g. meaningless but sound-alike words jumble together..so the person may goes on and on like this: "today mayday will lay relay i say" etc.) and flat affect (no signs of any emotions). However, a person suffering from the other types of schizophrenia may display these symptoms.

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder. It difficult for a person to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses to others, and to behave normally in social situations.
Schizophrenia is a complex and puzzling illness. Even the experts in the field are not exactly sure what causes it. Some doctors think that the brain may not be able to process information correctly.

Genetic factors appear to play a role, as people who have family members with schizophrenia may be more likely to get the disease themselves. Some researchers believe that events in a person's environment may trigger schizophrenia. For example, problems during intrauterine development (infection) and birth may increase the risk for developing schizophrenia later in life.

Psychological and social factors may also play some role in its development. However, the level of social and familial support appears to influence the course of illness and may be protective against relapse.

There are 5 recognized types of schizophrenia: catatonic, paranoid, disorganized, undifferentiated, and residual. Features of schizophrenia include its typical onset before the age of 45, continuous presence of symptoms for 6 months or more, and deterioration from a prior level of social and occupational functioning.

Schizophrenia (SKITS-oh-FREEN-ee-uh)---one of the most damaging of all mental disorders---causes its victims to lose touch with reality. They often begin to hear, see, or feel things that aren't really there (hallucinations) or become convinced of things that simply aren't true (delusions). In the paranoid form of this disorder, they develop delusions of persecution or personal grandeur. The first signs of paranoid schizophrenia usually surface between the ages of 15 and 34. There is no cure, but the disorder can be controlled with medications. Severe attacks may require hospitalization
