🧠 What is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It can cause difficulties in distinguishing reality from imagination, leading to challenges in daily life, work, and relationships. With the right treatment and support, many people with schizophrenia live fulfilling lives.
