Schizophrenia
Struggling with thoughts or experiences that feel disconnected from reality can be frightening and isolating. At Mile High Psychiatry, we provide expert support for individuals with schizophrenia through compassionate, evidence-based care that’s rooted in dignity and hope.
What is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It may involve a disconnect from reality, including hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking and speech.
Though the condition is lifelong, it can be effectively managed with a combination of medication, therapy, and coordinated care.
Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia impacts cognition, behavior, and emotional regulation. Symptoms usually begin in early adulthood and can vary widely between individuals.
Common symptoms may include:
- Delusions or false beliefs
- Hallucinations (often hearing voices)
- Disorganized thinking or speech
- Confused or bizarre thoughts
- Flat affect or reduced emotional expression
- Decreased motivation or participation in daily activities
- Disorganized or abnormal motor behavior

What Causes Schizophrenia?
The exact cause of schizophrenia isn’t known, but researchers believe it results from a mix of biological and environmental factors.
- Genetic predisposition
- Differences in brain chemistry or structure
- Environmental stressors during early development
Understanding the contributing factors can guide more personalized, effective care for long-term stability.
