Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling.

24 million people have schizophrenia but less than 33% of them receive treatment.

90% of people diagnosed with schizophrenia have educational, personal, familial, social, and occupational issues in their day-to-day lives.

1.5 for every 10,000 people is the yearly amount of novel schizophrenia cases diagnosed. Among young adults, 1 out of every 222 individuals, or 0.45% of the global population, have schizophrenia.

60% of people with schizophrenia face discrimination, stigma from other individuals, and human rights abuses at some point.

2 out of 3 people suffering from psychosis never receive the proper healthcare they need to treat their illness, including those with schizophrenia.

There is a multitude of options available for people with schizophrenia to get help, yet only 1 out of 3 individuals with the disorder ever recover in full.
