What it's like Living with Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective Disorder

# data[].attributes.body
Schizophrenia is a very complex disease that not many people truly understand. Schizophrenia is commonly mistaken for Split Personality, Multiple Personality, or Dissociative Identity Disorder.  There are also misconceptions that schizophrenics are violent or dangerous, however they are usually no more violent than the rest of the population.  Sadly, its more likely for people with Schizophrenia to be the victim of violence or bullying.  Another misconception is that people with Schizophrenia will be unable to hold a job or have their own family. This is false, and studies even show that these activities can actually be therapeutic to those suffering from this disorder.

Schizophrenia is considered a long term health issue because there is currently no cure; only certain treatments can help reduce the effects from the condition, but never fully diminish them. Therapy and support can help improve social skills, provide job opportunities, identify signs of oncoming episodes, and prolong remission periods.  Getting enough sleep, exercising, and maintaining a healthy diet can also help defend symptoms of Schizophrenia.  Finding ways to manage the disorder is the best we can do for now, until new science and solutions possibly emerge in the future.

Schizophrenia is described as a chronic brain disorder.  Schizophrenia is one of the more rare mental health disorders, making up for less than one percent of the U.S. population. Schizophrenia involves a breakdown in the relation between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.  This leads to faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings, withdrawal from reality, withdrawal from personal relationships, fantasies and delusions, and a sense of mental fragmentation.

Symptoms of Schizophrenia usually appear in early adulthood and persist throughout a persons lifetime, but the intensity of the symptoms may decrease with older age.  Effects of Schizophrenia include trouble thinking, delusions, disorganized speech, and hallucinations.  When experiencing  a schizophrenic "episode" the difference between what is and isn't real is hard to distinguish. There is no specific cause or reasoning as to how people develop this chronic mental health disorder, but stress could be a main factor.  Drugs and alcohol can also dramatically increase symptoms in those with schizophrenia.
