Answer 1

The social response behind the mental disorder is still a taboo in many societies and creating hurdles to provide efficient treatment to those who need most.

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health disorder and its treatment takes a long time and patience so that schizophrenic people experience a lack of social support so as health support. The treatment of schizophrenia is possible if the patient gets the right treatment at the right time, for this purpose social awareness is most important.

I think the greatest obstacle to effective treatment if schizophrenia is lack of social awareness because a person with schizophrenia does not behave like a diseased patient so that we do not care about the symptoms and hide them behind our prejudice and false knowledge. If we get aware of mental illness and disorders, these patients would get effective treatment on time as well as social support.
