There is a common notion that schizophrenia is the same as "split personality"—a Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde switch in character.
This is not correct.
WHAT IS IT?
Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disease. People with schizophrenia often suffer terrifying symptoms such as hearing internal voices not heard by others, or believing that other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. These symptoms may leave them fearful and withdrawn. Their speech and behavior can be so disorganized that they may be incomprehensible or frightening to others.
I wish everyone would understand this.
