Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality, which can cause significant distress for the individual, their family members, and friends. If left untreated, the symptoms of schizophrenia can be persistent and disabling. Schizophrenia is typically diagnosed in late adolscents to the early thirties and tends to emerge earlier in males than in females. While schizophrenia can occur in younger children, it is very rare for it to occur before the late teenage years. Some of the symptoms of schizophrenia include altered perception, abnormal thinking, and odd behaviors. People may experience hallucinations, such as hearing voices or seeing things that aren’t there; delusions, which are firmly held beliefs not supported by facts (e.g., paranoia); diminshed feelings of pleasure in life; and cognitive problems in attention, concentration, and memory. At GPS Psychology and Anxiety Clinic, effective treatments are available. When delivered in a timely, coordinated, and sustained manner, treatment can help affected individuals to engage in school or work, achieve independence, and enjoy personal relationships.
