A new drug to treat schizophrenia has been developed by scientists and clinical trials are about to begin in Merthyr Tydfil. The potential treatment has been described as an "exciting leap forward" in the way schizophrenia is treated.
According to experts, schizophrenia is a poorly treated condition, so a potential treatment like this will have a major impact on patients suffering with the condition. It was designed by Cardiff University's Medicines Discovery Institute.
Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that causes a range of different symptoms. Some people may experience hallucinations, delusions, muddled thoughts and people may start to lose interest in every day interests, their personal hygiene and wanting to avoid their friends.
