A diagnosis of Schizophrenia might appear to be a lifetime sentence of hospital visits and piling medical bills but living a meaningful life while managing this disorder is not impossible. Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that affects how a patient thinks, feels and behaves. The condition is episodic, while suffering from a schizophrenic episode the patient might experience hallucinations, hear voices, or feel completely disconnected from reality.
Symptoms of Schizophrenia
The symptoms of schizophrenia can be divided into 3 main categories:
Psychotic Symptoms—These symptoms affect the thinking, emotions, and the manner in which the patient experiences the world around them.
Hallucinations — Hearing voices, and seeing things that aren’t real. People experiencing hallucinations often hear someone/something that others don’t.
Delusion — Believing in irrational things. For example, one might believe that others are planning to harm them or that they are in grave danger.
Thought disorder— Inability to express coherent thoughts, using words that have no meaning. Moving from one thought to another, or completely losing the thought trail.
Negative Symptoms— Negative symptoms might lead to withdrawal from the social life, disinterest in engaging with others and lack of motivation. One might even stop doing basic activities like bathing and neglect personal hygiene.
Cognitive Symptoms— Cognitive symptoms affect a person’s memory and concentration. One might not be able to retain or process new information or forget it soon after learning it.link text »
