PSYC E-1080
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a neuro-developmental disorder that approximately one percent of people experience during their lives.
Schizophrenia can be profoundly disabling, and even for people who are able to be very high functioning (for example, Professor Elyn Saks), schizophrenia is a difficult disorder to manage.
Better understanding the symptoms, risk factors, treatments, and impacts of schizophrenia can provide valuable insight and help to reduce stigma.
