What is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a medical condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, perceives reality, and behaves. It is not caused by weak willpower, poor parenting, or a person’s character.
It is a treatable brain disorder that usually begins in late adolescence or early adulthood, although it can occur at any age.
People with schizophrenia may find it difficult to distinguish between what is real and what is not. This can interfere with work, education, relationships, and daily life.
The good news is that modern treatments have dramatically improved outcomes for many individuals.

Every individual receives a personalised treatment plan.
