Schizophrenia

What is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a complex, chronic mental health disorder that affects how a person thinks, behaves, and interacts with others. It is characterized by a range of symptoms including hallucinations (such as hearing voices), delusions (firm beliefs not based in reality), disorganized thinking, social withdrawal, and reduced emotional expression.

Individuals with schizophrenia often experience difficulties in relationships, work, and personal activities because of serious and ongoing symptoms. However, counseling plays an important role in supporting individuals and their families. Through regular therapy sessions, people can learn coping strategies, receive emotional support, and gain a better understanding of their condition. When combined with medication and ongoing care, counseling empowers many to manage symptoms, build confidence, and actively participate in fulfilling lives.
