Schizophrenia is an illness that is incredible in its multitude of symptoms and it's utter mysteriousness that it possesses. "Distortions in perception may affect all five senses, including sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but most commonly manifest as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction."
The disease was coined in 1908 as "the schizophrenias " because "...there is debate about whether the diagnosis represents a single disorder or a number of discrete syndromes." Also, "...no single organic cause has been found." AND, "No laboratory test for schizophrenia currently exists."
January Schofield is six years-old and has schizophrenia. She hallucinates constantly. She's obsessed with numbers. She's on anti-psychotic medicine. She's unbelievably cute.
