Zero to Hero – Lina (the elegant fighter)

/in /by

Hey everyone, I am back. Do you know Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that distorts the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, relates to others and perceives reality which affects  0.7% of Singapore’s population (Ministry of Health) as of 2010’s report?

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to understand what is real. There are five subtypes of schizophrenia: paranoid schizophrenia, disorganized schizophrenia, catatonic schizophrenia, undifferentiated schizophrenia, and residual schizophrenia which has cognitive symptoms like trouble focusing or paying attention, and difficulty remembering.

Hmm, this is troubling.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the story of Mr Noel, the ironman, who chose to make a comeback in life despite massive hurdles. Back to introducing Lisa who went through a rather difficult path in life partially cause of the naiveness she brings to the world.
