Schizophrenia: Real Lives Ravaged by Imaginary Terror Drugs, Therapy Can Turn Life Around for Some by Margie Patlak "The visions are extremely vivid. Paving stones transform into demonic faces, shattering in front of my petrified eyes. When I am in contact with people, they can become grotesquely deformed, their skin peeling away to reveal decomposing inner muscles and organs. Buildings and rooms spin and weave and their walls close in as I look on, paralyzed by fear. ... The voices either ramble in alien tongues or scream orders to carry out violent acts. They also persecute me by way of unwavering commentary and ridicule to deceive, derange, and force me into a world of crippling paranoia." Robert Bayley, a schizophrenia sufferer, in Schizophrenia Bulletin, No. 4, 1996, published by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). More than 300,000 adults in this country are like Bayley, unable to distinguish their imaginations from reality. These people have schizophrenia, a mental illness whose hallmarks are visual and auditory hallucinations. Fortunately the living hell Bayley describes can often be alleviated with a number of antipsychotic drugs, including the relatively new drugs clozapine (Clozaril) and risperidone (Risperdal), which don't seem to have some of the limiting side effects of more traditional drugs, as well as the newcomer known as olanzapine (Zyprexa), which came on the market in the fall of 1996. The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the drugs used to treat schizophrenia.

Based on exhaustive reviews of the treatment outcomes literature, the treatment recommendations focus on treatments for which there is substantial evidence of efficacy. By surveying a random sample of persons with schizophrenia, the PORT also examined patterns of usual care for conformance to its treatment recommendations ( select to access Adapted from Schizophrenia Bulletin 1998:24(1);1-10.

Schizophrenics display a wide array of symptoms, but five main types of schizophrenia, differing in their specific symptomatology as follows, are recognized by some authorities. 1. The simple or undifferentiated 2. The hebephrenic or disorganized type of schizophrenic displays shallow and inappropriate emotional responses, foolish or bizarre behaviour, false beliefs (delusions), and false perceptions (hallucinations). 3. The catatonic type is characterized by striking motor behaviour. The patient may remain in a state of almost complete immobility, often assuming statuesque positions. Mutism (inability to talk), extreme compliance, and absence of almost all voluntary actions are also common. This state of inactivity is at times preceded or interrupted by episodes of excessive motor activity and excitement, generally of an impulsive, unpredictable kind. 4. The

70. The NIMH Genetic Study Of Schizophrenia Information about the Genetics of schizophrenia Research Program at the NIMH. http://cbdb.nimh.nih.gov/sibstudy/index.html

CLINICAL BRAIN DISORDERS BRANCH Homepage Who can participate? What do I have to do? ... How can I get involved? Schizophrenia is a complex brain disorder affecting thoughts and perceptions. This illness affects at least 1% of the population worldwide, regardless of race, economic condition, or geographic location. Families who have one member of the family ill with schizophrenia have a greater chance of developing this illness than families who have no relative with this illness. The scientists at the National Institute of Mental Health believe that environmental factors combined with genetic predisposition lead to the development of schizophrenia. The NIMH genetic studies focus on gathering families' genetic and environmental information to better understand what places one family member at risk and conversely, what protects other family members. To this end, family members are asked to participate in a number of procedures that help scientists measure various family characteristics to see if they run in families. Genotyping, or DNA analysis, is an important part of this process. However, families should understand that this is a very complex analysis and NIMH does not plan to provide family members with individual genetic test results. The scientists believe that future treatments and preventive methods will rely heavily on the findings of this developing study. It is for this reason that we ask families to participate. Hundreds of families are needed. The staff at NIMH invites you and your family to review this website and welcome you to call us for more information.
