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. This therefore calls for the need for further research in Schizophrenia.

In addition, it gives a critical analysis of the condition of schizophrenia. The third section gives a detailed analysis of the methods that the researcher incorporated in order to arrive to the conclusions and recommendations made. Rationale

It is therefore important to note that the following research work is of great relevance: This research study focused in helping the society have a clear perception on the causes and management of the conditions associated with schizophrenia. In addition, the technicians will have a clear outline of handling people suffering from this condition both in the developed and developing countries.
