Schizophrenia is an extremely complex mental disorder believed to be caused by a biochemical imbalance in the brain. It is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disturbances in thinking and communication, and with drawal from social activity. Schizophrenia is a serious but treatable disorder, which affects a person's ability to know what is reality and what is not. The disorder may devel op so gradually that it is undetectable in the person for a long time, or it may have a very sudden onset with rapid development. It most commonly strikes between the ages of 16 and 30. In Canada, one in every 100 persons is diagnosed with this disorder. The seminar is made pos sible through an educational grant from Eli Lilly Canada Inc. with appreciation to Halton Pharmacy. To reserve a seat call 905338-4379 or email lrohm@ haltonhealthcare.on.ca.
