Schizophrenia (pronounced skitz-o-fren-ea, just so you know) is a mental disorder that makes people 'lose contact with reality'. They start to live in a fantasy world, making up different characters and the plot line with them as the star. A schizophrenic can live amongst people without this condition for a time, even get married and have children before someone notices, but eventually people do notice.
