Schizophrenia. Considered one of the most puzzling of mental disorders, schizophrenia robs an individual of the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy. Symptoms range from delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, lack of motivation or emotions, but the disease still has no defining medical tests. Though we can't cure this disease yet, the Schizophrenia Society of Canada recommends that we should do more to understand it -- and remove the stigma and barriers so patients and families can get the support they need. (Visit the Schizophrenia Society of Canada website for more information.).
There are many other brain disorders and mental disorders and illnesses listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), published by the American Psychiatric Association.
