A member asked:
Do those who have schizophrenia do well in school?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Depending on the type of schizophrenia one can have disorganized thoughts, delusions, halluciantions and cognitive symptoms (difficulty with memory and understanding things). Medication can help somewhat but can have side effects which can further impair cognition. It is common for patients that first start having symptoms to do poorly in school and sometimes drop out.
