Introduction
Schizophrenia is a devastating, chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder affects socio-occupational functioning capabilities of individual in daily life such as self-care, communication, interpersonal relationships, family, social, and occupational area. It is the third most debilitating mental illness with a prevalence of 0.4 % [1], accounting for 1.1 % of the total disability-adjusted life years(DALY’s), and 2.8 % of the years lost due to disability(YLD’s) as per the global burden of disease [2]. Although it is an illness with a poor prognosis [3] about one-fourth of the persons affected with it fully recover after one or more episodes, in rest three fourth of the cases the disturbance takes a chronic form; half of this group exhibits negative symptoms (flattened affect, poverty of thought and speech, apathy, loss of interest, social withdrawal, and motorretardation), the remaining half have long-lasting positive symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations. As a result, people with schizophrenia or serious mental illnesses are more likely to be unemployed or to be underemployed in inferior positions that are incommensurate with their skills or training. If they return to work following an illness, they often face hostility and reduced responsibilities [4].
