Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a clinical syndrome of variable, but profoundly disruptive, psychopathology
that involves cognition, emotion, perception, and other aspects of behavior. The expression of
these manifestations varies across patients and over time, but the effect of the illness is
always severe and is usually long lasting. The disorder usually begins before age 25, persists
throughout life, and affects persons of all social classes. Both patients and their families often
suffer from poor care and social ostracism because of widespread ignorance about the
disorder. Although schizophrenia is discussed as if it is a single disease, it probably
comprises a group of disorders with heterogeneous etiologies, and it includes patients whose
clinical presentations, treatment response, and courses of illness vary. Clinicians should
appreciate that the diagnosis of schizophrenia is based entirely on the psychiatric history and
mental status examination.
