Schizophrenia is a mental disorder where individuals experience the world very differently from others. They experience stimuli that others do not experience. This can be in the form of hearing voices, often referred to as auditory hallucinations, or seeing things, often referred to as visual hallucinations. They may also have delusions, where they believe something so wholeheartedly that just often isn’t true. For example, a person may believe themselves to be a God or president.

This disorder greatly impacts functioning and makes maintaining general life difficult. It, just like another other mental disorder, does not have to make life impossible. There is a way to live well with Schizophrenia if a person accesses appropriate supports.

These supports include a combination of medication management, therapy, and often additional oversight for life’s needs. For example, support maintaining housing, managing finances, and support with parenting can often be helpful.
