Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder characterized by a range of symptoms that impact an individual’s thinking, emotions, and behavior. It often manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood, affecting both men and women. While the exact cause of schizophrenia remains elusive, it is believed to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurochemical factors. This complex interplay makes diagnosis and treatment a challenging process, emphasizing the importance of seeking professional help.
