What is schizophrenia
Schizophrenia - a complex mental illness with a variety of forms. Its main feature - a man changes of reality and of his personality.
Where does schizophrenia, just say no one can. Likely to blame for all genetics. But it can help a disease or stress.
Unfortunately, many people simply do not reach the specialists. This is connected with fears and myths about psychiatryAnd the fact that schizophrenics do not feel sick. A person with this disorder is sure that is healthy. Or that he discovered a great truth, or that his great mission in the world is more important than the daily bustle.
With weak signs of schizophrenia, a person does not receive the mental health care, and the disease gradually progresses and subjects it to life.
Schizophrenia - one of the most common diagnoses in psychiatry. But to understand its forms can not every psychiatrist. For the average person the main thing - to observe danger signs and either walk to the doctor, or to help the patient and persuade him to inspect.
How schizophrenia begins
The initial symptoms of schizophrenia is difficult to notice. Most often it manifests itself in 18-35 years. But you can always get sick.
Sometimes early signs of schizophrenia appear in childhood or adolescence. Then the strange behavior charged to puberty or character traits.
Man closes a little talk with people, it does not go to the contact and lost interest in what was once pleased him. Sometimes blunted physical sensations: the patient does not notice hunger, forgets that it is necessary to wash and change clothes. There are unexpected emotions: for example, a request to pass the salt can cause irritation, aggression.
It's all a suitable description of the rebellious teenager, a child, was very upset by stress or a person weakened by illness.
The above symptoms - that is no reason for the diagnosis, but only warning that is to talk with someone and maybe go to a psychologist to overcome stress and trauma.
Whether it is necessary to drag the person to a psychiatrist about every whim or because the relationship soured? Not. Attempts to find the disease where it does not exist, even worse than the disease itself.
The main symptoms of schizophrenia
At present there are two types of schizophrenia symptoms: large and small. To make a diagnosis, you need either a big symptom or two small.
Large symptoms of schizophrenia
- echo thoughts. The patient believes that others can control his thoughts: read them, erase or, conversely, to invest in the alien's head. It's not a fun idea like "What would happen if my mind read," and confidence that is so.
- Brad impact. Man thinks that he's managed. Programmed, hypnotized or exposed beams. Sometimes schizophrenic thinking so much about other people: all have been deceived, one sees the truth.
- Voice hallucinations. A patient may realize that the voices in my head it just chudyatsya or may not realize it, talk to an invisible companion. Voice can just talk and something to tell, and maybe give directions.
- delusions, In which the patient truly believes. The plot Reptilians, saving the world from aliens, unknown civilizations encrypted messages and so on.
Minor symptoms of schizophrenia
- Persistent hallucinations (not just voice). Most often it is the illusion that the brain completes the reality. For example, the patient seems to be that people on the streets grow hooves or scarf on the chair alive.
- gibberish. The patient explains something very important, but understand it is impossible for him. Between phrases is no logical connection, but this is not a person notices. Sometimes the patient uses words that he invented and to call them phenomena that exist in his mind: "From the house to the corner of exactly 340 steps. And gabagi balcony dug yesterday! "
- slow response. The patient does not respond to others, it falls into a stupor until the complete immobility. A person can sit and look at one point.
- negative symptoms. They are called negative because they lost some skill or skills. Man loses emotion, interest in the work, not only communicates with people.
These signs - definitely a reason get to the doctor and find out what's going on and how to get back to reality.
What if a person has symptoms of schizophrenia
Some forms of schizophrenia lead to exacerbations. Roughly speaking, these are the periods of illness when symptoms are particularly hard and the man falls out of the reality.
Patients do not understand what they do, they are in their world, so it is impossible to predict their behavior. In the worst scenario, a schizophrenic wakes up aggression directed at yourself or others.
What to do? Call doctors. And while they are traveling, try to establish a confidential contact and reassure the person.
The patient does not prove that he is wrong, that the voices in my head it just seem that he or delirious.
First, he would not believe. Secondly, you will record in enemies. But we need something else.
It is better to try to understand what man thinks and Accompany. If the patient believes that the world has captured the reptilians, and rushes to save the planet, tell us that you are an agent to fight the aggressors and now make it my colleague.
Sometimes a person does not lose touch with reality, and the symptoms are. The most difficult to persuade him to pass the inspection, but it is necessary. Exactly how to do this, unfortunately, will not tell anyone. If the patient refuses to go to the doctor, try to invite a doctor to the house, to go to private clinics. The main thing - to get to the treat.
Current therapies are good enough to successfully treat schizophrenia.
