TV Program: Keeping Kids Healthy: Childhood-Onset Schizophrenia: A Life Interrupted

Of course you've heard of schizophrenia, but do you know exactly what it is (it's not split personality!), or how to recognize it, or even when it's most likely to show its first signs? The fact is, schizophrenia usually strikes first in young people, rather than adults – but it doesn't usually appear in children before they reach their teens. But when it does strike that early, it's even more devastating than in an older child, and you need to get expert help immediately. In this episode of "Keeping Kids Healthy", you'll see what happened when one family's nine-year-old son began hearing voices and having hallucinations – the classic signs of childhood-onset schizophrenia – and you'll learn where to go for help.
