Schizophrenia Day – 24th May

Schizophrenia is the most persistent and disabling of the major mental illnesses.
It usually attacks people between the ages of 16 and 30, as they are beginning to realize their potential. It affects approximately one in 100 people worldwide, (one per cent of the population), affecting men and women almost equally. While it is treatable in many cases, there is as yet no cure for schizophrenia.

The mind controls the basic functions of thinking, feeling (emotions), perception (the five senses) and behaviour. These functions ordinarily work together, enabling us to:

  • tell the difference between fantasy and reality
  • keep anxiety at manageable levels
  • have appropriate emotional responses
  • make sense of what happens to us
  • maintain a stable sense of who we are
  • establish and maintain relationships with others
