Abstract
Schizophrenia is a devastating psychiatric disorder that affects ~1% of the population worldwide (Corves 2009). It is characterized by so-called ‘positive symptoms’–including delusions and hallucinations–‘negative symptoms’–including blunted emotions and social isolation–and cognitive deficits–including impairments in attention and working memory (Corves 2009). It is a mental illness, believed to be the results of multiple factors both genetic and environmental. Affecting over 2 million people in the US alone, it has become a major clinical and public health concern worldwide. However, it has been referred to as a hidden epidemic. The purpose of this paper is to define schizophrenia, inform about the symptoms, risk factors, and treatment for schizophrenia. My research is qualitative, based on examples of different types of Schizophrenia and to explain it is psychological disorder which can afflict a person throughout their lifetime due to it is like all other mental illness, there is no known cure.
