Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by hallucinations (typically hearing voices), delusions, disorganized thinking and behavior, and flat or inappropriate affect. Symptoms develop gradually and typically begin during young adulthood and are never resolved. There is no objective diagnostic test; diagnosis is based on observed behavior, a psychiatric history that includes the person's reported experiences, and reports of others familiar with the person. Many people with schizophrenia have other mental disorders, especially depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and obsessive–compulsive disorder.
