Measurements For Diagnosing Schizophrenia
Often confused with split personality disorder, schizophrenia is a brain-related disorder that is characterized by the loss of contact with reality. With split personality disorder, people act differently, talk differently and believe they are someone else. Schizophrenic people hear voices, see things, hold onto false beliefs, think abnormally, withdraw socially and display flattened emotions. A schizophrenia diagnosis is usually made from ages 18 to 30, which persists indefinitely, making life with paranoid schizophrenia difficult to cope with. Currently, diagnosing this disorder is difficult because the causes aren’t very clear.
