Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder that affects the patient by deteriorating their abilities in various psychological aspects, such as thinking, perception, emotions or will.

Schizophrenic patients may lose contact with reality (psychosis), suffer hallucinations, delusions (false beliefs), have abnormal thoughts and impair social and work functioning.

Etymologically it means "split mind." With this term, it was wanted to underline the alterations in the thought presented by the people who suffer from it.

The most characteristic symptoms of the disease are:

- Delusions: Misconceptions that the patient is convinced of. For example, to believe that everyone is against him or that they try to harm him.

- Hallucinations: Perceive something that does not exist. For example, hearing voices (that insult or talk about him), or seeing objects or faces that are not there.

- Thought disorders: The patient's language becomes incomprehensible and with little fluency.
