Schizophrenia is a mental illness that can cause delusions, hallucinations, and confused thinking. There is no cure, but it can be treated.

“My patients with schizophrenia often tell me their symptoms are so disruptive that it’s hard for them to function or to maintain relationships.”

—Dr. Suarez*

“When I was diagnosed, I was like, “Okay. Now that we know what it is, we can do something about it.”

—Justin†
