Schizophrenia is a word that inspires fascinated fear in many of us. In popular vernacular, it’s become a catchall for any kind of “crazy” behavior. Popular media has long capitalized on the more sensational aspects of schizophrenia, and the condition is further veiled in mystery simply because it’s a condition that we don’t know that much about. The causes, exact way that it functions in the mind and body, and ways to best treat it are confusing and varied.
