Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a severe mental condition that has an impact on a person's thoughts, feelings, and actions. Schizophrenia sufferers may appear to have lost all sense of reality, which can be upsetting to both them and their loved ones. Participating in regular, everyday activities may be challenging for someone with schizophrenia, but there are effective therapies available. Many persons who receive treatment are able to participate in school or the workforce, become independent, and value their connections with others.

Symptoms

Schizophrenia is a severe mental condition that has an impact on a person's thoughts, feelings, and actions. Schizophrenia sufferers may appear to have lost all sense of reality, which can be upsetting to both them and their loved ones. Participating in regular, everyday activities may be challenging for someone with schizophrenia, but there are effective therapies available. Many persons who receive treatment are able to participate in school or the workforce, become independent, and value their connections with others. Some well-known symptoms are:

• Hallucinations: when a person perceives sounds, tastes, smells, or sensations that are not truly present. Schizophrenia sufferers frequently hear voices. Before family or friends become aware of a problem, those who hear voices may continue to do so for some time.
• Delusions: when someone holds firmly to false beliefs that may appear unreasonable to others. Delusional people, for instance, can think that people on the radio and television are communicating important messages that call for a specific action, or they might think they are in danger or that others are attempting to harm them.
• Thought disorder: when a person has strange or irrational methods of thinking. Thought disorders can make it difficult for people to organise their words and ideas. Sometimes a speaker would cut off in the middle of a thought, switch topics abruptly, or use meaningless phrases.
• Movement disorder: when someone makes strange movements with their body. Some movements may be repeatedly performed by people with movement disorders.

Although the symptoms of schizophrenia might vary from person to person, they can be broadly divided into three groups: psychotic, negative, and cognitive.

Psychotic symptoms: Changes in a person's thoughts, behaviours, and worldview are examples of psychotic symptoms. People who are experiencing psychotic symptoms may become estranged from others and have distorted perceptions of reality. These symptoms may come and go for some people. Others get symptoms that gradually stabilise.

Negative symptoms: Lack of motivation, loss of interest in or enjoyment from daily tasks, withdrawal from social life, difficulty expressing feelings, and difficulties functioning regularly are examples of negative symptoms.

Cognitive symptoms: Problems with concentration, memory, and attention are examples of cognitive symptoms. These signs can make it challenging to pay attention in a conversation, pick up new information, or remember commitments. One of the best indicators of how well someone will perform on a daily basis is their degree of cognitive functioning.
