Because of these symptoms, people suffering from this disease has serious difficulty interacting with others and tend to isolate themselves from the outside world. The first signs of schizophrenia typically occur in adolescence or early adulthood. Most schizophrenics suffer from a chronic or episodic in throughout his life, and is often stigmatized by lack of general understanding about the disease. Actually, who suffers from schizophrenia does not have a "split personality", and almost all schizophrenics are not dangerous or violent towards others, contrary to what is commonly believed.

William Harris
William Harris is not a writer, but individual who has observed the insanity that has been plaguing this world, our planet for millenniums. In an effort to make sense of the madness he began researching and investigating past civilizations starting with Sumer where the first words were written. Sumer used cosmology and various other sciences and they were highly technologically advance civilization. Harris wondered why such an advanced civilization would disappear from the earth and not just Sumer, but others that came afterward. Harris discovered that the patterns within the structures of the various societies were almost identical and realized that today's societies, nations, etc. too followed the same design. Harris fears that today the world is heading down that very same path as the preceding nations and he feels that with all that is currently going on the world as we know it soon will be coming to an end. So, he wrote this book to reach out to all mankind to share with them his findings many which we are already aware of, but too afraid to do anything about it, or are just not aware what to do about the situations or how to proceed. Harris is hoping that the look into his insight will help open mankind's eyes as well as their hearts to get them to take back the life that GOD gave them. What Harris's research has concluded, is that one individual cannot save us, not even a few, but with all of us together we can make this the world that GOD intended for us.

GENERAL FEATURES
Some authors consider schizophrenia a disease, a syndrome of other, still others a mental mechanism. In each of these views there is some truth. Schizophrenia is a specific reaction to a very serious state of anxiety, which originated in early childhood has matured over time and exploded later. Schizophrenia is a complex and diverse clinical entity that seriously affects the different areas of individual functioning (work, social, interpersonal, etc..) Generally characterize the severity of the symptomatic and depends on several factors (e.g. Subtype, the 'age of onset, treatment adherence, social support, etc..) which define the individual expression of the disorder.
