Schizophrenia is a severe, chronic mental health disorder that affects how a person behaves, thinks and feels. Sometimes people with schizophrenia may seem like they are out of touch with reality. Schizophrenia is not as common as other psychotic disorders, and the symptoms can be very difficult to treat. Symptoms may include hallucinations, reduced feelings of pleasure in daily life, and trouble focusing or paying attention.
