Perhaps you have noticed that people very often look ten to twenty years younger in their casket than when alive. They look younger, softer and more relaxd. Schizophrenia is a very common problem. Some authorities in the field of mental illness estimate there may be as many as fifty million schizophrenics in the United States. This is about one out of eight persons.
Schizophrenics account for half the population in psychiatric hospitals.
Of course there are varying degrees of schizophrenia. Some cases are acute while others are quite mild. Many schizophrenics have never been treated professionally. Schizophrenia has remained a very baffling problem to mental health professionals. The cause and cure has remained shrouded in uncertainty.
