[5/24, 14:12] Dr Biakolo Akpobome: Today is International Schizophrenia Awareness Day!!!!!!

Do you know that schizophrenia is a mental illness which affects how a person thinks, feels and behaves?

Symptoms can be quite distressing and include:

Hearing or seeing things that aren't really there.

Feeling that one is being monitored or watched.

Inappropriate or strange behaviour

Inability to sleep or concentrate.

A decline in personal hygiene and appearance.

Preoccupation with religion.

Deterioration in work or academic performance.

Undue fear and suspiciousness.

Those experiencing symptoms such as these for more than 2 weeks need professional help.

Let's stop the stigma against mental illnesses.
