Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that generally appears in late adolescence or early adulthood - however, it can emerge at any time in life. It is one of many brain diseases that may include delusions, loss of personality (flat affect), confusion, agitation, social withdrawal, psychosis, and bizarre behavior.
Individuals with schizophrenia may hear voices that are not there. Some may be convinced that others are reading their minds, controlling how they think, or plotting against them. This can distress patients severely and persistently, making them withdrawn and frantic.
Others may find it hard to make sense of what a person with schizophrenia is talking about. In some cases, the individual may spend hours completely still, without talking. On other occasions he or she may seem fine, until they start explaining what they are truly thinking.
Schizophrenia, possibly many illnesses combined - it is a complex, chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder and affects approximately 1% of all adults globally. Experts say schizophrenia is probably many illnesses masquerading as one. Research indicates that schizophrenia is likely to be the result of faulty neuronal development in the brain of the fetus, which later in life emerges as a full-blown illness.
Genetics, early environment, neurobiology, and
psychological and social processes appear to be important contributory factors;
some recreational and prescription drugs appear to cause or worsen symptoms.
Current research is focused on the role of neurobiology, although no single
isolated organic cause has been found. The many possible combinations of
symptoms have triggered debate about whether the diagnosis represents a single
disorder or a number of discrete syndromes
Astrological signifactors-
Sign aries ,cancer and scorpio.
Moon as mind.
Mercury as intelligence.
Rahu as delusion.
Saturn as significator of depression etc.
Mars as planet of action and agression.
Houses 1st ,4th ,5th,6th,8th and 12th /Lords of these houses.

The Moon suffers afflictions when it is weak, placed in adverse (6, 8, or 12th) houses, and under the aspects or association of malefic
(a) Affliction by the sun: Quick temper, quarrelsome, self-aggrandizement.
(b) By Mars: Quick temper, aggressive, violent.
(c) By Saturn: Acute depression; maniac depressive psychosis.
(d) By Rahu: cunning in thought, schizophrenia, phobias, and maniacal suicidal tendencies.
(e) By Ketu: Maniacal/suicidal tendencies, phobias, irrational suspicion of others.
Affliction to Mercury and Jupiter causes abnormalities in behavior in a similar manner. For example, placement of mercury in the 6th house affected by Saturn, leads to some sort of mental derangement. Jupiter- Saturn or Jupiter-Mars opposition have already been pointed out.
Jupiter:The best benefactor. Jupiter is the significator of maturity and wisdom. While Jupiter is neutral towards mercury, the latter happens to be the enemy of Jupiter. Quite naturally the strict limits of logics can only restrain the exercise of wisdom. Note: When the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter are strong and well placed, the native has a sound mind, a healthy reasoning and a mature wisdom. When these three planets are afflicted, weak or ill placed, there is a vulnerability to mental illness, nervousness, Intellectual confusion, and inability to take wise decisions and to implement them.
Let us now look at some mental illness combinations.
