I am a schizophrenia paranoid (DDD) outpatient. Schizophrenia is not a single simple disease but a whole spectrum of disorders. The amount of misinformation and misunderstanding of these disorders by the general public is abysmal. If you want to find out more about the disorder either, type "schizophrenia" into Yahoo! web search or into Yahoo! answers "search for questions" to find out more. Yahoo web search results in a
"ton" of links. Wikipedia has a good summary. For a first person account of the disorders look through the questions that come up in the question search for those answers by schizophrenics themselves.
If you want my take on the subject look in my questions and answers for those on schizophrenia and/or e-mail me from my profile.
Good luck in your research, good mental health, peace and Love!

Schizophrenia means literally split mind. People who deal with schizophrenia have thought patterns in the brain that are not normal.
Some of the classic symptoms of schizophrenia are thoughts such as hallucinations (false perception of the senses, or seeing things , hearing things, smelling or feeling things that don't exist), delusions (false beliefs like persecution-everyone's trying to kill me or grandeur-I am completely different, better or worse, than everyone else).
Schizophrenics experience a flat affect (no emotion) or exaggerated emotions. Sadly, many schizophrenics are those end up on the street.
Schizophrenia is NOT multiple-personality disorder that many people mistaking believe it to be.
