Helping those with Schizophrenia obtain SSD and SSI
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations. Some people who suffer from schizophrenia may only experience one episode in the course of their life, but for others the symptoms can continue for years. People who suffer from schizophrenia may become isolated and withdrawn, and have trouble making or keeping friends. Schizophrenics often show little or no emotion or have bizarre motor behaviors, delusions and hallucinations. They have a hard time concentrating and their thoughts often jump between unrelated topics. Schizophrenia usually begins before the age of 45, usually around age 25 for men and age 30 for women; symptoms last for 6 months or more, and people start to lose their ability to socialize and work.
