Schizophrenia is a disabling, puzzling, and chronic mental disorder that generally develops in late adolescence or early adulthood. There are three categories for symptoms of this illness, including psychotic symptoms (such as delusions), negative symptoms (such as diminished motivation), and cognitive symptoms (such as attention problems). Numerous antipsychotic medications are currently available to help bring biochemical imbalances closer to normal, which can control these schizophrenia symptoms.
