ABSTRACT

Schizophrenia occupies a central position in psychiatric discourses framed as an opaque and bizarre disorder of unknown or unknowable aetiology. The influence of psychoanalytical accounts of schizophrenia on the critical and popular imaginaries is indisputable. A multidisciplinary approach to both assessment and clinical intervention is important to support individuals with this health condition. Incoherent thinking and disorganized behavior takes an enormous toll on afflicted families. Many people with schizophrenia have difficulty maintaining a job or independent life; though it is important to recognize the treatment especially at the onset of symptoms allows individuals to lead a meaningful and productive lives. The contributing factor and the mechanisms of this condition is still unclear and has been a source of debate within the scientists in field of psychology and psychiatry.
