Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is unfortunately, and unfairly, one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented mental health conditions. In reality, it is not a case of having a 'split personality' or being an aggressive individual. Have a read of the six common schizophrenia myths being dissected and corrected here.

Symptoms of schizophrenia can include;

​

  • Auditory or visual hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that aren't there)

  • Unusual beliefs that are not true (delusion)

  • Lack of personal hygiene

  • Unwillingness to socialise

  • Lack of interest in usual activities
