Answer 1

Answer: Schizophrenia is a diseased condition where the patient is unable to think, remember or behave properly. The pain of the patient is 10/10 that means he is suffering from unbearable pain and hence this pain affects the thinking ability, causes mental stress and hence increases the chances of increase in the mental illness which he already have that is schizophrenia.
