10 Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Symptom #10: Social Withdrawal
We tend to value our friends and family and look forward to spending time with them whenever we get the chance. Our spare time often involves activities with other people, and we can even enjoy the company of others at work. Social interaction is important to us as a species and our mental health can suffer if we are separated from others for too long.
People with schizophrenia, however, will begin to lose interest in other people. Even their closest friends and family will no longer be appealing to them. They will spend more and more time alone, eventually becoming completely isolated if allowed to do so.
