Schizophrenia is not only a disease that you can develop, its a brain disease. Most people judge as people having the disease by being mental. Although this disease has something to do with attitude and personality. When having this disease the brain is shown much differently showing that the disease is not out of insanity but by genetics and environment contributions caused to develop chemicals in the brain to be too active or have too many. the picture below will show a Schizophrenic brain and a average brain.
This picture shows a schizophrenic having many feeling and attitudes towards someone or something.
