Evidence-Based Practice on Schizophrenia Disorder

Schizophrenia Disorder Description Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that has affected people since time immemorial (Schultz, North, Shields, 2007). Individuals who are suffering from this disorder sometimes hear voices that other people do not hear. Moreover, these individuals might believe that other people are planning to harm them, controlling their thoughts or reading their minds. As a result, schizophrenics may be terrified and become extremely excited or withdrawn from the society. In fact, the speech of individuals suffering from this condition might be completely meaningless. Sometimes, they may sit for hours without talking or moving. In other cases, they look perfectly fine until you hear them speaking their thoughts (Schultz, North, Shields, 2007).
