Schizophrenia: The - Schizophrenic - Laid Bare: Psychosis, Paranoid Schizophrenia, Split Personality (Mental Illness, Bipolar, Schizoaffective, Schizophrenia ... Mental Health, Personality Disorder)

The first thing many people think of when they hear the word schizophrenia is of a violent criminal with two, or maybe even more personalities. They will probably imagine someone walking down the street talking to themselves, ready to strike out at a moment’s notice.

In fact, approximately one percent of the population are schizophrenics and very few of these have violent tendencies. They can, however, have psychotic episodes in which they experience hallucinations and delude themselves into believing something which could not possibly be real.
