    Schizophrenia is a chemical imbalance that affects about 1% of the population and typically emerges during teenage years or twenties. It interferes with thinking clearly, distinguishing reality from fantasy, managing emotions, and relating to others. There are different types including paranoid schizophrenia, where people may experience delusions of persecution, jealousy, or grandiosity. A case study describes a 75-year old single male patient who has experienced depression, irritability, and suspiciousness since 1981. A mental status examination found the patient to be conscious but withdrawn with slow speech and low motor activity. He displayed signs of paranoia such as delusions of jealousy and persecution.
