Schizophrenia: Understanding Hallucinations and Delusions

Schizophrenia is a mental illness that affects how someone understands reality. It can cause hallucinations in which a person sees, hears, or feels things that are not real. It can also cause delusions where a person believes things that are not true. With a combination of medication and talk therapy, both hallucinations and delusions can be managed and a person can live a productive life.
