In addition, this report gives detailed information on the experiences that caregivers go through while handling persons who are suffering from this condition. This report therefore gives a critical analysis of Schizophrenia and compares different sources of data and reports in relation to the experiences that exist in various countries. It emerges that the perception of schizophrenia still maintains a similar stand in various countries especially in the developing countries and the developed countries.
