Education is essential in winning the battle against this devastating illness. Schizophrenia strikes in the late teenage and early adult years and affects people from every socio-economic and cultural background. These negative symptoms and severe side effects from medications can create compliance issues making treatment extremely difficult. Relapse and repeated hospitalization is a common problem that can go on for years. Even with treatment, a lack of sociability and motivation can make it nearly impossible for consumers to seek out or retain employment.
Mental illness affects virtually every social aspect of the community.
Increased education and research about schizophrenia can lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment, a greater acceptance of the mentally ill in their community, and most importantly, save lives.
