While I was in school, I have heard people saying for one girl she is schizophrenic. As I can see, she seems to be normal to me. Actually I have to admit I don’t know what schizophrenic person look like. I would like to know more about this disorder and how to recognize it. Also I would like to know if there is some treatment for them.
