Schizophrenia is a disease of the brain.
It affects ONE in every 100 persons. That means that 300,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with this illness at some point in their lives. Symptoms of schizophrenia include disordered thinking, delusions, paranoia, hallucinations, changes in emotions and changes in behaviour. It generally strikes in the late teens or 20's. Forty percent of people with schizophrenia attempt suicide.
