Explanation

Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints. The most common form of osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint or age. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and related autoimmune diseases. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterised by a breakdown of thought processes and by poor emotional responsiveness.
