Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that affects less than one percent of the U.S. population. When the disease is active, it can be characterized by episodes in which the patient is unable to distinguish between real and unreal experiences. Symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, trouble with thinking and concentration, and lack of motivation.
