a mental disorder which sets in during late teens to early adulthood in which the afflicted experiences delusionary imaginings or sensory hallucinations (hearing voices etc) in acute cases. Common medication for schizophrenics is risperdal, dosage depending on severity of condition. With the support of family and friends, a schizo can live a normal life. But he must seek treatment. Most schizos refuse to seek treatment and, coupled with paranoia their denial and suspicion that medical treament is an attempt to attack their character/standing as normal person further aggravates their condition. Like diabetes, there is no cure for schizophrenia. Its effects can be reduced/tempered, but never completely eradicated. Strong hereditary/gene trends.
I only knew i suffered from schizophrenia when i was well into my late 20s. And i resisted treatment initially thinking that it was a conspiracy to do me in. Now i am on medication and things are better, but it comes and goes. But at least now i know what it is when i feel that way.

A mental disorder which gives a person imaginary people so realisitic a schizophrenic person believes they are real. There are good and bad imaginary people and they grow in numbers as the real person grows older. The imaginary people always stay the same age, a five year old would stay five from the time the schizophrenic person is 2 years old till long past 30. Or 80.
Note: A schizophrenic can only see their own imaginary poeple, and not any other schizophrenics, and non-schizophrenic people are unable to see a schizophrenics imaginary people either.

for·um schizo·phre·nia, n.
An internet disorder caused by an individual who reads a significantly higher number of blog, forum or comment posts by many unique individuals, to the point of hearing voices in his head that do not correspond to his perceived train of thought.
The pathology behind this disorder is believed to reside behind the individuals 'mental voice' - the voice that speaks the words in an individual's mind as he reads - and the lack of a consistent train of thought due to the brevity and uniqueness of blog, forum and comment posts
i.e. each post has a different writing style, tone, train of thought, point of view, that continuing to read these posts, without a rest period to center one's thoughts, can lead to a lack of sense of self, and beginning to hear one's mental voice speak and think in ways that are foreign to the individual
The reason it is specifically an internet disorder, and not common schizophrenia, is probably due to the style of internet writing. i.e. if a person were to read a book, or magazine article, it's length and sense of closure at the end of the article allows an individual to regain their own train of thought.
Can be commonly found to coincide with Google Amnesia, and Hyperlink ADD

Government Schizophrenia is caused when a government enforces and supports two completely different policies that are blatantly contradictory.
The United States has "Government Schizophrenia" when it comes to it's policies regarding cannabis prohibition. According to the government's Controlled Substances Act, cannabis has no medicinal value, and is deemed a schedule 1 narcotic. While on the other hand the government patents it's cannabinoids from cannabis, claiming they have medicinal value.
