BeforeSchizophrenia (/ˌskɪtsɵˈfrɛniə/ or /ˌskɪtsɵˈfriːniə/) is a mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by poor emotional responsiveness. Common symptoms include auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction.

Schizophrenia is a mental illness that causes strange thinking and feelings.[1] Many people who have this illness hear things that do not exist (hallucinations). They have fears and suspicions that do not make sense (paranoia). They might believe in things that are strange and senseless (delusions). They might speak and think in a way that does not make sense to other people.
