Do we really know the nature of schizophrenia ??

A charity for mental health has concluded that schizophrenia or schizophrenia does not necessarily mean the multiplicity of personalities per person or becomes violent automatically.
A study of 1,500 people showed that there was a widespread misunderstanding of the nature of the disease, according to the Association of Mental Health.
Schizophrenia often causes hallucinations, such as hearing sounds, or illusions, and can lead to loss of interest in life.
But the association stressed that the disease should not be "an obscene word or term used to abuse people who suffer from it."
The Assembly warned that such myths were dangerous.
One in 100 people suffers from schizophrenia in their lifetime, but 45 percent of those surveyed believe the disease is much more common.
Half of the people who had been mistakenly thought that the disease was characterized by multiple personalities per person, while 25 percent of those surveyed felt that the disease was definitely violent.
But the truth is quite different, according to a new campaign launched by the Reynect Mental Illness Society.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists in Britain says on its Web site that it is not true that "a person suffering from schizophrenia may appear completely normal in a moment and then turn into another person at the next moment."
Although there is a greater risk of violent behavior if a person has schizophrenia, this does not necessarily mean that they become dangerous.
In comparison, drugs and alcoholism cause much more violence.
Psychiatrists have suggested that people with schizophrenia are more likely to be harmed than others as a source of damage.
