Schizophrenia is considered a serious psychiatric disorder. Patients most often experience severe functional impairment, loss of ability to work, inability to live independently, impaired social functioning, and social isolation. But, if schizophrenia is detected early, it can significantly facilitate the daily functioning of the affected person.

According to the Mayo Clinic, there are several symptoms that can indicate that a person is suffering from schizophrenia, but one is considered the first warning sign because it usually appears several years before the final diagnosis. It's about insomnia.

Doctors explain that sleep problems such as insomnia or constant waking during the night precede all other symptoms of schizophrenia, although many people ignore them for years.

Other symptoms include sudden and unexplained mood swings, unusual hallucinations, and loss of motivation. Symptoms may change over time. Likewise, some symptoms may always be present, while others may never appear. In men, symptoms of schizophrenia usually begin in their early to mid-20s, while in women, the first symptoms usually appear in their late 20s.
