Schizophrenia is a difficult malady, both to diagnose and to treat.
It’s defined as any of a group of psychotic disorders usually
characterized by withdrawal from reality, illogical patterns of
thinking, delusions, and hallucinations, and accompanied in varying
degrees by other emotional, behavioral, or intellectual disturbances.
Recent research suggests that those who suffer from schizophrenia could
benefit from incorporating more B3 (niacin), essential fatty acids
(EFAs) and eating more whole grain carbohydrates to help level out
blood sugar levels so that bouts with hypoglycemia are lessened.
