What is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a complex and chronic mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It is often marked by episodes of psychosis, including hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t there), delusions (false beliefs), disorganized thinking, and emotional withdrawal. Contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia is not a “split personality,” but rather a disruption in the way the brain processes information.

At AYEBS, we view schizophrenia with understanding and compassion—not judgment. We believe that with the right care and support, individuals living with schizophrenia can manage symptoms, maintain independence, and lead fulfilling lives.
