Hey everyone! How was your day?

:)

:(

Before we get started I wanted to apologize for publishing this late! I tried to get it done quicker but my friends needed help with school stuff. I'm trying to get these out on time, I swear! 

Also, this Saturday, Sunday and Monday I won't be able to post these long passages. Instead, I will just post motivational messages and pictures until I can get back on track.

Now, onto the fun stuff!

Today, I want to discuss the issue know as: schizophrenia.

Recently my grandma was diagnosed with it and I wanted to do more research on it.

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder in which people experience episodes of hallucinations that can lead to immobility or insanity.

About two million Americans (1% of the population) are effected by this disorder.  Luckily, there is medication for it, but it is a lifelong disorder that, at the moment, is unable to be cured. 

Here are signs of schizophrenia.

--Delusions

--Hallucinations

--Disorganized speech

--Disorganized behavior

If you have any of these symptoms, don't waste time looking up "schizophrenia test" on google. Refer to a doctor or psychologist and get professionally diagnosed. Please note that the symptom severity varies in every person.

Schizophrenia usually effects women of late teens or in their early twenties and thirties, and men of their early twenties. It is uncommon to see this disorder in anyone under twelve or over forty.  (i spent so long trying to spell forty lol)

If you know anyone with this disorder, I hope they are doing well! <3

Sorry this was so short. I have open house tonight and my mom wants me to get ready. 

Human interaction.

Ew.

Anyways, that's all!

*Hugs to cheer up the sad mood of this chapter*

Drink water, get rest and take care of yourself!

Adios! <3
