Schizophrenia Resources
Schizophrenia affects mental processes such as thinking and judgment, sensory perception, and the ability to appropriately interpret and respond to situations. About one percent of the adult population has schizophrenia.
If you have a loved one who is suffering from schizophrenia, AMI-Quebec can help!
