What is Schizophrenia?

What does a schizophrenic brain look like?

how does one get schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a long term mental disorder. It causes a break down in the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.This then leads to faulty perceptions, withdrawal from reality, and relationships into fantasy.

What your seeing in theses first two black and white MRI’s is that when a person has schizophrenia it makes the brain mass shrink, and the ventricles enlarged. What you see in the colorful scans is the deterioration or the deficits that schizophrenia causes to the brain. The purple is a healthy brain scan, or the beginning of schizophrenia, while the pink is someone who has had it for five years and has severe brain deficits.
