What is normal?

At times, normal individuals may feel, think, or act in ways that resemble schizophrenia. Normal people may sometimes be unable to think logically. They may become extremely anxious, for example, when speaking in front of groups and may feel confused, be unable to pull their thoughts together, and forget what they had intended to say. This is not schizophrenia. At the same time, people with schizophrenia do not always act abnormally. Indeed, some people with the illness can appear completely normal and be perfectly responsible, even while they experience hallucinations or delusions. An individual’s behaviour may change over time, becoming bizarre if medication is stopped and returning closer to normal when receiving appropriate treatment.
