An invalid psychiatric diagnostic permanent label, which once attained often needlessly dooms the labelled to intervention which is harmful, stigma, problems with employment and other issues.

Research shows those with such problems fare better with alternative interventions than is usual in the West.
John was diagnosed with Schizophrenia at 18 years of age. He was hospitalised and forcebly injected with antipsychotic medication when he became agitated. His symptoms became manageable but has lost interest in everything that was important to him before, has not worked in the five years since and does not seek work. His consultant is happy he has not relapsed.

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 stigmatized mental disorder that isn't biologically understood, but can be diagnosed with the patients confirmation of auditory and visual hallucinations when the patient is sober. It could be drug induced or something involving these features, but a symptom of another category like schizo-affective or h.p.p.d. is possible due to the broad terms and should be inferred upon with a licensed Doctor in case it's being caused by something you can change.
