skizofrenia f20, coded as F20 in the ICD-10, is a chronic mental health disorder impacting thoughts, feelings, and behavior. The condition may result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and brain chemistry factors. Schizophrenia symptoms are grouped into positive (hallucinations, delusions), negative (lack of motivation, social withdrawal), and cognitive (impaired memory, attention) categories.

While there is no cure, treatments like antipsychotic medications, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and support systems can help manage symptoms. Medications regulate brain chemicals to reduce hallucinations, while therapy develops coping and social skills. Family support is also crucial for creating a stable environment.

With early diagnosis and ongoing treatment, individuals with schizophrenia can lead fulfilling lives. Raising awareness and reducing stigma are essential to supporting those affected by this condition.
