Schizophrenia is a brain disease. 精神分裂是一种大脑疾病
Its defining feature is psychosis, or being out of touch with reality. 它的主要症状是幻想，或者是与现实脱离
Delusions 2 and hallucinations are hallmarks of the illness. 妄想和幻觉是这个病的标志
Delusions are fixed 3 and false beliefs that aren't responsive to evidence, 妄想是顽固，错误和不会因为现实而改变的信仰
and hallucinations are false sensory 4 experiences. 幻觉是不存在的感觉
For example, when I'm psychotic I often have the delusion 1 比如，当我病发的时候，
that I've killed hundreds of thousands of people with my thoughts. 我总是有我用我的想法杀了几百个人的错觉
I sometimes have the idea that nuclear explosions are about to be set off in my brain. 我有时候会觉得自己脑子里正要发生核爆炸
Occasionally, I have hallucinations, 也有时候，我有幻觉
like one time I turned around and saw a man with a raised knife. 有个人在我后面高举这一把刀
Imagine having a nightmare while you're awake. 想象以下在清醒的情况下做噩梦
Often, speech and thinking become disorganized to the point of incoherence. 言语和思想经常变得没有头绪，简直没有任何逻辑
Loose associations involves putting together words that may sound a lot alike but don't make sense, 当人有散漫的联想的时候，就会把一些很相似的词放在一起，没有任何意义
and if the words get jumbled 5 up enough, it's called "word salad." 感觉像一个文字混在一起的“沙拉”
Contrary to what many people think, schizophrenia is not the same as multiple personality disorder 6 or split personality. 和大部分人以为的恰好相反，精神分裂不是多重人格或人格分裂
The schizophrenic mind is not split, but shattered. 精神分裂的大脑不是分开的，是破碎的
Everyone has seen a street person, unkempt, probably ill-fed, 每个人都看到过街上有人不修边幅，营养不良
standing 7 outside of an office building muttering to himself or shouting. 站在外面乱对自己说话或者大声嚷嚷
This person is likely to have some form of schizophrenia. 这种人多半是有精神分裂
But schizophrenia presents itself across a wide array of socioeconomic status, 但是精神分裂出现在很多不同的社会层次中。
and there are people with the illness who are full-time 8 professionals with major responsibilities. 其中有很多患者是有全职工作的，承担着很大责任的。
Several years ago, I decided 9 to write down my experiences and my personal journey, 几年前，我决定把我的个人经历写下来
