Schizophrenia usually has more bizarre behaviour, delusions, etc. Did patients can still have a normal life. There are 35 million people in canada (1% = 350 000) Most frequently occurs between 20 and 40 years of age. Men and women are at equal risk of developing it. Men display the symptoms earlier and more severely. Individuals are less likely to complete their education or maintain a job. They are more likely to develop other psychiatric problems (e. g. : depression, substance abuse, alcohol abuse, etc. ) Lack of historical evidence seems to suggest that schizophrenia was extremely rare until the late. It has been speculated that industrialization and environmental changes may be related to this emergence. E. g. : delusions, hallucinations, thought and speech disorders, and grossly disorganized catatonic behaviour. There is no connection between your question and their answer.
