It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions or disorganized speech and thinking in the context of significant social or occupational dysfunction. **

I could only give the standard definition of it.
One thing not mentioned here is that there are physical changes to the structure of the brain with people who suffer from this disorder. I did a lot of research for my paper and I found that people who suffer from it have physical damage or complete destruction of parts of their brains.
This same sort of damage/destruction can also happen to people who suffer head injuries and I discovered that people with schizophrenia and people that have suffered head trauma, if the same part of the brain is affected, guess what, same symptoms.
-sad face-
Damn. If you had accepted poetry, I would have entered.
Nonetheless, I would be happy to donate something, but all I can think of is a poem and I doubt that could be a good prize, so scrap my offer.
Good luck with the contest.
Great contest and I will love to partecipate!
To people out there wondering what schizophrenia is, it is a horrible mental disorder that is in no way directly connected to depression or multiple personality disorder, however I would probably not be incorrect in assuming that those things can devellop as a result (but only split personalities if the victim is under the age of seven). It involves hallucinations, voices, an inability to communicate with others properly. It can instill fear in those both who have it, and those around them during an episode (or if it is constant, those merely around them). Please, do not take this subject lightly.
