Abstract
Schizophrenia is a chronic illness characterised by a range of symptoms including positive and negative symptoms. Examples of positive symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, and bizarre and inappropriate behaviour. Negative symptoms include affective flattening, lack of speech, lack of motivation and inability to feel pleasure with any activity. In addition to these symptoms, patients also experience significant cognitive deficits and attention disorders. All these symptoms have a great impact on the person’s quality of life.
