    Schizophrenia is a syndrome identified by a characteristic cluster of symptoms that last for a certain time, including behaviors or experiences outside the normal range. Symptoms are either positive, like hallucinations, or negative, like a lack of emotions. Schizophrenia affects about 1 in 100 people and costs the UK $397 million annually to treat. It is diagnosed through investigations of brain imaging and observations of the patient. Genetics may play a role, as children of those affected are at higher risk, and identical twins have a 58% chance of both being affected if one has it. Treatment involves medication, therapy, and hospitalization when needed.
