“At its initial stage, it is not immediately clear that schizophrenia has begun. If your mood often changes, you realize that you have begun to behave strangely, others notice this and tell you about it, then most likely this is the first bell,” Viktor Rudov said in a comment to the Public News Service.
The psychiatrist added that As the disease progresses, there is a strong change in the perception of reality, a deterioration in the quality of memory and attention. A person may gravitate towards loneliness or, on the contrary, impose himself, get involved in discussions, prove something.
