I have worked in the field with clients who experience Developmental Disabilities and Mental Health Disorders compounded with Substance Abuse for 12 years. The most interesting factor of Schizophrenia to me, is that it can attack at any age. Yes it has it's "typicals", but like any mental health disease, I mean to say they all do. Just imagine that all of a sudden, what was real to you, no longer is... You begin to think you are being watched, or listened to. You start to mistrust everyone, and feel like the whole world is out to get you. You hear voices that start to tell you things. Things that don't make sense to other people, but they do to you. Imagine living the rest of your life, trapped in a world like this... Yes, medication can help, but unfortunately most Paranoid Schizophrenics will only take their medicine until they feel "normal" again, and then become convinced they don't need it. They stop taking it, and the vicious cycle starts all over again.
