Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a disintegration of thought processes and of emotional responsiveness. It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction. The onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, with a global lifetime prevalence of about 0.3–0.7%. Diagnosis is based on observed behavior and the patient's reported experiences. 
Schizophrenia often leads to major depression and the suicide rates are higher.
Life expectancy shorter.
Such people often face problems like poverty and homelessness too.


Symptoms:
Impairment in social cognition
paranoia
social withdrawal


Often happen in:
Late adolescence
Early adulthood
Critical periods of one's life


One sub type is paranoia type. Where delusions and hallucinations are present but thought disorder, disorganized behavior, and affective flattening are absent.


Another is disorganized type.Weird speech usage, weird behavior and impairment in thought and response.


Dealing with paranoia.
Often what you believe is not what others really think.
Stop having low self esteem, believe in yourself.
People are not there to hurt you.
You do have many real friends.


Thats all, enjoy.
It is a short one tho, as I recently blogged pages, but it is a good one.
