Schizophrenia is more widespread than realized, Pigeon adds, and is particularly dev­ astating to youth. This invisible biological brain disease attacks about one in 100 Canadians, usually in their late teens or early 20s. People with schizophrenia may experi­ ence delusions or hallucinations, lack of moti­ vation, social withdrawal, and thought disor­ ders. Delusions are false beliefs that have no basis in reality. Sufferers may think, for exam­ ple, that someone is spying on them, listening to their thoughts, or placing thoughts in their minds. Hallucinations most often consist of hearing voices that comment on behaviour, are insulting or give commands. Disorganized thinking makes some people feel mixed up -- in conversation, they may randomly jump from one unrelated topic to another. Leisure and personal relationships are diffi­ cult for people with schizophrenia and, as a result, they have trouble working. Across Canada, victims are in prison for crimes com­ mitted while in a psychotic state, many others live on the street with no treatment and sever­ al people in Oakville have committed suicide over the past years in order to escape the tor­ ment of their illness. Adds Pidgeon: 'There is no current cure, but medication lessens symptoms in most peo­ ple. We need to find the cause of this wide­ spread illness as quickly as possible but, unfor­ % X 4 ) } o vw > U tunately, research continues to be vastly under­ funded and we have to depend upon the gen­ erosity of the members of our community and their support of our annual Walk." The Oakville Schizophrenia Society pro­ vides support for families and friends who care for someone coping with schizophrenia. Meetings are held at 8 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month (September to May) at St. Jude's Church. Family Support Group meetings are also held on a regular basis.
