Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is one of the most debilitating of all mental illnesses. It affects approximately 1% of the population from all realms of society throughout the world. The onset for most people is in their late teens to early 20s, though it can start earlier or later as well. The average age of onset is 18 in men and 25 in women, though the disease affects men and women equally. Recent years have added many advances to our understandings about the causes of schizophrenia.
