I am 22 and have been told I have schizophrenia. What is the major problem with this disorder?

Schizophrenia is a group of chronic brain disorders whereby individuals simply cannot differentiate fact from fiction. The disturbance in reality is also associated with hallucinations, delusions and disturbed thought processes. The disease tends to present itself in the 20s and is progressive. With time, most individuals are unable to take care of themselves and require institutionalization. Schizophrenia is a dreaded disorder where the balance between normal thoughts and emotions is completely fragmented. Some individuals also develop negative symptoms that may appear months or years before the hallucinations and delusions. These symptoms include social isolation, loss of motivation, no interest in everyday life, lack of emotion, neglect of personal hygiene, difficulty with memory and no attention span. Most of these individuals have trouble at work and home and often run into difficulties with the law.
