Schizophrenia, also called the “split personality,” is a brain disease that causes people to hear voices or see things that are not there. It can also cause people to become less social and even change their personality. A person who suffers in this way may have difficulty in understanding what they are saying. It has also been known that when a person is experiencing schizophrenia they are often more likely to behave in self-destructive ways.
