Special Issue on Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It is a complex condition that impacts a person's perception of reality, often leading to difficulties in distinguishing what is real from what is not. The exact cause of schizophrenia is still unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurochemical factors.
