Schizophrenia is a mental condition in which you may feel, hear or see things that are not there (hallucinations), believe things that are not true, and feel unusually suspicious or confused. Bipolar I disorder is a serious brain disorder where you experience extreme mood swings (variance in thinking) and frequent mood and behaviour changes.
