mi. cover MENTAL HEALTH WASHINGTON (AP) Schizo-' phrenia, a mental illness characterized by visual hallucinations, imagined voices and abnormal behavior, afflicts 1 percent of Americans. Yet, not much is known about the disease, and many psychologists are trying to clear up some misconceptions. For one, schizophrenia is not the same as a split personality, says Dr. E.

Fuller Torrey, a psychiatrist. Disorders such as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are far rarer and have different symptoms. Another myth, says Torrey, is that parents are the cause of the disease in their children.

Abnormal brain chemistry is the root of the problem, not poor child-rearing practices. 6 mum Cold CITY WEATHER From 8 a.m. Sunday until 8 a.m. Monday.
