The stigma that has been associated with schizophrenia has caused it to be feared and poorly understood. What is Schizophrenia? Schizophrenia varies in its symptoms, severity and duration from person to person and interferes with an individual?s ability to think and feel. People with schizophrenia have a difficult time distinguishing between what is fantasy and what is real. People may experience unusual thoughts, hallucinations and difficulty expressing themselves clearly. Contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia has nothing to do with a "split personality".

Senior Lecturer, University of Liverpool, UK Introduction Schizophrenia is often a chronic relapsing psychotic disorder that primarily affects thought and behaviour. It can be well-controlled with antipsychotic drugs, (sometimes called neuroleptics). The general practitioner may be called in to assess new cases of schizophrenia (incidence of 18/10,000 per year), or to provide care for the homeless mentally ill (Timms & Fry, 1989) or to provide long-term cover for rehabilitation or long-stay hostels and for families with members who have schizophrenia.

Approximately 1 percent of the population develops schizophrenia during their lifetime – more than 2 million Americans suffer from the illness in a given year. Although schizophrenia affects men and women with equal frequency, the disorder often appears earlier in men, usually in the late teens or early twenties, than in women, who are generally affected in the twenties to early thirties.
