References Schizophrenia Overview Our understanding of schizophrenia has evolved since its symptoms were first catalogued by German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin in the late 19th century (Andreasen, 1997a). Even though the cause of this disorder remains elusive, its frightening symptoms and biological correlates have come to be quite well defined. Yet misconceptions abound about symptoms: schizophrenia is neither nor Table 4-6 Schizophrenia is characterized by profound disruption in cognition and emotion, affecting the most fundamental human attributes: language, thought, perception, affect, and sense of self. The array of symptoms, while wide ranging, frequently includes psychotic manifestations, such as hearing internal voices or experiencing other sensations not connected to an obvious source (hallucinations) and assigning unusual significance or meaning to normal events or holding fixed false personal beliefs (delusions). No single symptom is definitive for diagnosis; rather, the diagnosis encompasses a pattern of signs and symptoms, in conjunction with impaired occupational or social functioning (DSM-IV). Symptoms are typically divided into positive and negative symptoms (see Table 4-7 Table 4-6. DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia

How Family and Friends Can Help Schizophrenia, one of the most debilitating and baffling mental illnesses, defines a group of disorders that cause distorted thought and perception. Thoughts can be scrambled or jump from subject to subject. Perceptions can be distorted beyond reality, causing people to see or hear things that are not there. People with schizophrenia go through periods of getting better and worse - remission and relapse. They can go for long periods of time without any symptoms, but because schizophrenia is often a chronic illness, it requires ongoing medical attention, like hypertension or diabetes.

Schizophrenia is a chronic, disabling mental illness that may be caused by abnormal amounts of certain chemicals in the brain. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters control our thought processes and emotions. Return to top How do people who have schizophrenia think and act? People who have schizophrenia may seem different from other people. They may seem to show fewer emotions than others. They may keep to themselves and withdraw from social contact. At times they may seem slowed down, as if they don't have enough energy. People who have schizophrenia may have unusual beliefs, called delusions. For example, they may believe that others are spying on them or that they are famous people from history. Sometimes, they may hear voices telling them what to do or saying things about them. Voices that other people can't hear and visions that other people can't see are called hallucinations. A schizophrenic person's thoughts may also race through his or her mind, becoming confused and disorganized. These symptoms come and go, often occurring after stressful events.

Those suffering from the illness once were thought to be possessed by demons and were feared, tormented, exiled or locked up forever. In spite of advances in the understanding of its causes, course and treatment, schizophrenia continues to confound both health professionals and the public. It is easier for the average person to cope with the idea of cancer than it is to understand the odd behavior, hallucinations or strange ideas of the person with schizophrenia.

It usually attacks people between the ages of 16 and 30, as they are beginning to realize their potential. It affects approximately one in 100 people worldwide, (one per cent of the population), affecting men and women almost equally. While it is treatable in many cases, there is as yet no cure for schizophrenia. The mind controls the basic functions of thinking, feeling (emotions), perception (the five senses) and behaviour. These functions ordinarily work together, enabling us to: tell the difference between fantasy and reality keep anxiety at manageable levels have appropriate emotional responses make sense of what happens to us maintain a stable sense of who we are establish and maintain relationships with others In schizophrenia, the interaction of these mental functions is disturbed in various ways. The word schizophrenia does not mean "split personality" but a disruption of the balance among mental functions. Causes of Schizophrenia Symptoms of Schizophrenia Symptoms vary greatly. Common symptoms of schizophrenia are:

The atypical medications are more effective with fewer side effects. There is growing recognition of the value of early intervention and relapse prevention. The public is developing an interest in schizophrenia and positive movies like "A Beautiful Mind", were quite popular. These three trends promise a far less destructive schizophrenia then what I had to experience. Psychosis is a like a heart attack. It is a serious health event. You should only have one episode in your life. The charts are mostly from dinner presentations and conferences I have attended between 1995 and 2002. I have permission to use them here. The information here is updated from time to time, but I don't have the access to the latest research that I used to. The page on medications is limited only to what is available in Canada, which hasn't changed in some time. I am indebted to various psychiatrists who, for the most part, took the time to answer my questions about schizophrenia. I also have the benefit of my experience, both on and off medication. I was forced to close the guestbook by the number of people trying to advertise commercial web sites and keep it up so readers can see how schizophrenia can have a major impact on people's lives.

Schizophrenia is a major health problem throughout the world. The disorder typically strikes young people at the very time they are establishing their independence and can result in lifelong disability and stigma. In terms of personal and economic costs, schizophrenia has been described as among the worst disorders afflicting humankind. Schizophrenia is listed by the World Health Organization as the ninth leading cause of disability worldwide and affects about 1% of the population, although pockets where schizophrenia is more or less common have been identified. Schizophrenia affects men and women equally. In the USA, schizophrenia accounts for about 1 of every 5 Social Security disability days and 2.5% of all health care expenditures. Schizophrenia is more common than Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis.

Site navigation Index of articles Chronology Tessa's story Tessa's letters ... Wheel Me On PSYCHOSIS is remorselessly gray. It is like the border I originally chose for this website ( click here ). It is intricate, but tediously repetitive. Each riveted section interlocks with the next, in a nightmare that goes nowhere. It is a nightmare that is endured, day after day after day. For there is no resolution, through either thought or "talk therapy". Thought is integral to the problem, not a detachable instrument to be employed against it. You can't think your way out of psychosis, however clever you are, just as you can't use a concave mirror to correct the distorted image it creates. Likewise, you can't talk a person out of psychosis. It has its own, internal logic, but a logic that resists all reason from the outside. You can talk to a person with schizophrenia for hours, and end in a state of exasperation and exhaustion — at the point at which you began. Yet, paradoxically, it is almost impossible to stop trying to "get through". Our faith in reason is so strong, we press on. With irrepressible optimism, we go round and round in circles in a crazy parody of the disease. Surely, somewhere, there is some compelling argument, some magic key that will unlock this madness. Familiarity doesn't breed contempt, it breeds suspicion. If you stick around for too long, you must be watching, making notes, planning something sinister. You must be one of "them", or at least in league with them.
