Child schizophrenia is an acute, but uncommon mental disorder, in which children and adolescents are explained in an abnormal way. Schizophrenia includes a set of thinking problems (knowledge), behavior or emotions. It may result in a group of hallucinations, delusions, and extreme turmoil in thinking and behavior, which impedes the child’s ability to perform his functions, according to the Mayoclinic website.
It begins at an early stage of life – in adolescence in general – and has a great impact on the child’s behavior and growth. In the case of childish schizophrenia, the early age of the beginning of the emergence of this disorder imposes special challenges in diagnosis, treatment, education, emotional and social growth, and schizophrenia results in a set of problems of thinking, behavior or emotions.
Symptoms and indicators of the disease may vary, but they often include delusions, hallucinations or unorganized hadiths.
