Type "schizophrenia" into Yahoo! web search and a number of links comes up. Wikipedia has a good overall summary. There are many types of schizophrenia; it is a spectrum of disorders. I am a schizophrenia paranoid diagnosed over 40 years ago who no longer seems to Hallucinate. If you are not afraid of a personal account of the disorder read my Q & A's in my profile or contact me by e-mail through Yahoo! answers with any questions and I will discuss my personal take on the disorder.
Good luck, good mental health, peace and love!
