Schizophrenia

 


   

Schizophrenia is an ailment serious enough to interfere with thought, affect, and behavior. 



The individual suffering from schizophrenia may appear to have lost contact with that reality, which must be disturbing for the individual as well as for the family and friends. 



The first intense episode of psychosis usually occurs between the ages of 16 and 30, which is when schizophrenia is typically diagnosed in an individual.






It is the symptom of schizophrenia that makes a person unable to perform various activities, with an overwhelming number of individuals suffering from schizophrenia facing major health issues, social issues, and economic issues. 




The presence of all symptoms between the first appearance of symptoms and initiation may change the response to treatment and might bring adverse, lengthy consequences for the patient. It appears from available literature that with increasing years there are subtle, gradual changes in thinking, mood, and social functions preceding the first-caught episode of psychosis. 


There is a known benefit; therefore, in picking out these subtle changes and linking them with pre-psychotic interventions-such links might provide long-term medical, psychosocial, and practical benefits; the intervention might help a person gain work opportunities at school and ultimately lead to independence and personal relationships.





 


Identify with the possibility of predicting who may develop schizophrenia before the onset of psychosis and other symptoms. Work toward better assessment of both the presence and change of a person's symptoms and functioning using one's capabilities.



Schizophrenia is one chronic brain disease that affects less than one percent of people in the United States. When a person is ill, he or she may suffer delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, difficulties in thinking, and lack of motivation. However, most often, treatment will relieve most of the symptoms of schizophrenia. 



Because there is no proper cure available for schizophrenia, research is concerned with trying to bring some new and more safe treatments into being. The exponents, meanwhile, try to decipher the causal factors in the disease with the means of genetics, behavioral research, or advanced imaging research to examine at depth the brain structure and function of humans. These hold the promise of creating new and more efficacious treatments.





The complexity of schizophrenia might well account for the widespread misunderstanding of the disease.


   Though the term itself means "split mind," popular misconception says schizophrenia is split personality or multiple personality. Most people with schizophrenia are no more dangerous or violent than the population at large and may, in fact, be more vulnerable to being victims of crimes. Limited mental health resources in the community may lead to homelessness and repeated hospitalizations, respectively; these underpin the myth that the majority of patients with schizophrenia have been living in hospitals. The overwhelming majority of people with schizophrenia live at home, in group homes, or live alone.





Schizophrenia cuts across the gender barrier equally, and its onset generally occurs earlier in males. Incidence is relatively uniform across the globe.




Schizophrenia is believed to claim lives at a younger age than in the general population, principally because of the high rate of comorbid medical conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that influences how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. A person with schizophrenia may appear as though he or she has lost contact with reality, causing distress to themselves and/or their family and friends. Diagnosis most often occurs between the ages of 16 and 30 after the first episode of psychosis.homeless or living in hospitals. Most patients with schizophrenia live with their family, in group homes, or on their own.
