Instead of "schizophrenic," you should use "person with schizophrenia" or "someone living with schizophrenia."
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly. It is characterized by a range of symptoms, including:
* Hallucinations: Seeing or hearing things that aren't real.
* Delusions: Having false beliefs that are not based in reality.
* Disorganized thinking and speech: Difficulty expressing thoughts in a coherent way.
* Negative symptoms: Lack of motivation, flat affect, and social withdrawal.
It's important to remember that people with schizophrenia are individuals with their own unique experiences and should be treated with respect and understanding.
