Schizophrenia (psychosis): It is a mental illness in which the processing of brain information is affected. Patients with schizophrenia develop symptoms such as hallucinations (seeing or hearing unreal things), delusions (false beliefs), and become withdrawal from society. They lose the ability to differentiate reality from false beliefs. Patients with bipolar disorders have mood swings ranging from manic episodes of heightened excitement to severe depression. Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder may occur due to genetic factors, alcohol or drug abuse, or mental trauma. Schizophrenia may also occur due to brain injuries or diseases.
