~Schizophrenic_Furs
Founder of this group:
This is a group that was made for all of those Schizophrenic furs out there, who may want to be in this group. All types of Schizophrenic furs are welcome. I noticed there weren't any groups for this, so, having Schizophrenia myself, I thought I should make one.
What is Schizophrenia?
____________________________________________________________________________
Schizophrenia is a complex brain disorder. It can affect the ability to think clearly, manage feelings, make decisions, and relate to other people. It affects about 1% of the population – about 2.4 million American adults. It occurs equally in both men and women. The onset of schizophrenia usually occurs between the late teens and the mid-30s.
Siblings and offspring of people who have schizophrenia have a 10 times greater risk for the condition than the general population. What that means is that if a parent has schizophrenia, a child of that person has a 10 times greater risk of developing the condition. Nobody yet knows exactly how schizophrenia happens, or why.
In most people, the symptoms tend to have a gradual onset. Once symptoms of schizophrenia begin, it is usually a lifelong illness. Research suggests that schizophrenia may be caused by too many or too few chemicals in the brain. These chemicals are thought to control emotions, motivation, movement, and how people experience the world around them. A problem with these chemicals may cause messages in the brain to get mixed up and bring about symptoms.
