What is schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a rare mental disorder that affects 1 in 100 people. The cause of the disorder is still unknown but various researches in the field say that genetic and environmental influences might bring abnormalities in the chemistry of the brain and become the reason for schizophrenia. People with the symptoms of schizophrenia find it tough to lead normal lives because they think irrationally and experience unusual things like hearing unpleasant voices or having bizarre beliefs.
