Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a complicated mental health problem that is hard to make sense of put together; many people tend to confuse Schizophrenia with multiple personality disorders, but has no connection with it whatsoever. "Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe mental disorder that affects the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others" (Bhandari, 2022). It can also be defined as: "Schizophrenia refers to both a single condition and a spectrum of conditions that fall under the category of psychotic disorders" (Cleveland Clinic, 2018). Many behaviors or experiences may be a part of this disorder; or the behaviors could be due to schizophrenia. "When schizophrenia is active, symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, trouble with thinking and lack of motivation" (American Psychiatric Association, 2020).

Exam Anxiety
There is no denying the fact that most people experience anxiety when it comes to tests or exams. Most people tend to have anxiety before or during exam/tests; which may later have an impact on learning and damage the performance of the test and school academics. People might become so stressed out that they are genuinely unable to perform to their full potential in circumstances when there is pressure and a good performance matters. A little bit anxiety or stress may be good to help a person perform better, but excessive anxiety may lead to interference with personal life and cause some serious problems to the health of the person experiencing it.
