Which symptoms do you suffer from?

dunno. i'll have to ask the voice in my head what he thinks

huh? i would ask you to consider this person and then tell me what the positive aspects of delusion are, because i just dont see any…

americangirl.co.uk/images/hea…

schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that can make the lives of sufferers very distressing. i know someone diagnosed with schizophrenia who, due to the medication he was on whilst in a psychiatric hospital, became so distressed that he leapt out of his bedroom window, and so now he has brain damage to deal with as well as schizophrenia

though schizophrenia is a much misunderstood illness, it is still a very serious one

if you yourself have schizophrenia then you dont have my sympathy cos i dont think youd want it. prob better if i just say we're not all like that ignoramus above with the witless quip

edit – oh ok. forgive me, i misunderstood. we each are different, i can only speak from my own secondary experience of schizophrenia. and so, based on that experience, i still have misgivings about viewing delusion as a beneficial trait

dont misunderstand me, im not having a go, far from it. just speaking as i find

I don't think voices and delusions are 'accepted', most people are badly informed about this disease yet still have enough general knowledge to know that hearing voices is a sign of severe mental problems…

I once supported a lady who found her voices comforting; they were of her late Mother and she found them reassuring.

Now that you have explained it..I do not have that illness but my husbands ex-wife does. for us it easier to accept the positive.

I have half a mind to answer this question but I'll leave it for the time being.

Schizophrenia is a common mental illness all over the world. it usually begins before the age of 20 to 25 yrs and persists throughout life.

Schizophrenia is a group psychotic disorder where there is gross distortion of reality, withdrawal of social surrounding and interaction with defect in perception, thought and emotion.

Hallucination, delusion, disorganized speech are some of the symptoms and  characteristics of schizophrenia.

The self analysis center in the brain gets affected and therefore the person is unable to believe he is mentally sick.

There is a greater risk of suicidal tendencies among schizophrenic patients.

The disease can be continuous or there may be a relapse in symptoms. During a relapse the person behaves as if he is absolutely sane.

• Hallucination: hearing voices speaking to him, seeing people or things which are not there.
• Delusion that other will harm him, or poison his food.
• Disorganized speech and incoherent speech.
• Lack of self care
• Keeps silent all the time
• Irrelevant posture.
• Violent behavior, snatching or throwing things without any provocation.
• Crying or laughing with no obvious reason. and later on does not show any emotional expression.

The exact cause is not known, but hereditary factors, chemical imbalance in the brain, higher copper level in the body, abnormalities in temporal and frontal lobes in the brain, stressful family situation are some of the conditions which ultimately develop clinical symptoms of schizophrenia

• Herbs such as rosemary, sage, basil, chamomile, cardamom are the home remedies used in these patients. Tea prepared from these herbs is beneficial.
• Stress and anxiety which trigger schizophrenia can be calmed down, by drinking tea prepared from kava kava, licorice and passion flower.
• Ginseng is another herb which is neuro protective. it helps in schizophrenia.

To treat schizophrenic individual, a combination of biological and psychological treatment is necessary. Counseling the patient and his family to cope with his idiosyncrasies, to ensure drug compliance are other supportive measures.

Researchers say severe mental illness is more common among college students than it was a decade ago, with most young people seeking treatment for depression and anxiety. A study presented at the American Psychological Association found that the number of students on psychiatric medicines increased more than 10 percentage points over the last 10 years.

Effective Counseling

A large part of the reason for this increase has to do with the success of treating younger high school-age students. Today, there are more effective public and private sector counseling programs for children. as a result, health experts say, more students with learning disabilities and emotional problems manage well during high school years and then go on to college.

“These are youngsters many of whom in the past wouldn’t have even finished high school,” says Dr. Katherine Nordal, with the American Psychological Association. “Special education services in high school mean that more students with emotional difficulties and special needs are going on to college,” with their more emotionally stable counterparts.

Nordal points to one recent study that showed approximately one out of every four or five students who visits a university health center for a routine cold or sore throat turns out to be “depressed.”

While most colleges and universities have some form of mental health counseling, the majority are understaffed and overwhelmed, Nordal says. but treatment is there for students who persist and Nordal offers some advice to friends and family who want to help identify problems.

Recognizing Symptoms

Symptoms grow slowly and insidiously, she says, over time.

“It’s not like flipping a switch and someone has normal mood and behavior one morning and then wakes up the next morning in some other kind of zone,” she says.

Young people have a resilience and with intervention, it can be life changing.

There are also certain behaviors that should clearly sound an alarm: if young people are distancing themselves from friends, losing interest in things that they once enjoyed doing, becoming irritable or angry, having outbursts toward people who were close to them, experiencing changes in eating or sleeping patterns, having unexpected, unexplainable episodes of tearfulness — these are all potential symptoms of depression, anxiety or other emotional problems.

These problems can be exacerbated by the very nature of going off to college. For many young people, this is the first time they have left home for any period of time. They are outside the familiar and safe family structure, complete with parental discipline, control and advice. They may find themselves in a challenging new environment with a completely new set of peers.

Unfortunately, many new friends, says Nordal, just don’t have the “reference point” on the student’s “normal” behavior to make a judgment about erratic behavior or changed mood. Often it is close friends and family who know the student best — the new friends are just beginning to get to know them.

Even so, Nordal says if a student’s new friends notice what appears to be obvious distance, difficulty or depression, they should suggest the student seek counseling. They can even pressure the student, she says, because in some cases, treatment can be life saving.

Intervention Helps

Dr. Jerald Kay, a child psychiatrist and chair of psychiatry at Wright State University School of Medicine in Dayton, Ohio, specializes in adolescent health and has worked with American Psychiatric Association committees on college mental health. he co-authored the book Mental Health Care in the College Community.

Recently, Kay treated a 22-year-old male student whose friends were worried about recent behaviors and urged the student to seek help. Kay notes the friends were worried about extreme alcohol problems. The student was drinking every weekend to the point where he blacked out and had no memory of what happened.

He was also not sleeping well, was no longer relating to his friends and had lost 15 pounds in just six weeks. Kay says soon after beginning psychotherapy, the student divulged that he had a plan to hang himself in the closet of his dormitory, on the clothes hook.

Luckily, Kay was able to successfully treat the student with psychotherapy and an anti-depressant. Today, the student is doing well. he has gained weight, is sleeping better and most importantly, his outlook on life has improved. so have his relationships with his friends, whose encouragement to get help likely saved his life.

While this student was able to keep his academics on an even keel, Kay says that’s often not the case.

“A lot of the young people I see don’t go to class,” he says. “They’re not able to complete assignments and you get the sense that academically they’re going down in a spiral” and often drop out of extracurricular activities as well, and spend more and more time alone.

Kay says it is effective once students do get into treatment.

“Young people have a resilience, and with intervention, it can be life changing,” he says.

Even so, Kay says college mental health programs are typically overwhelmed with the numbers of students needing help. and while there are mental health counselors, he notes that most schools have psychiatrists available only a few hours a week — a dire shortage of specialized help in such a time of great need, he says. and many schools have experienced recent budget cuts in mental health programs.

  For the RecordNew shoes delighted the residents of Dayspring Village Dec. 15.Advocates and families of the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness visited residents at the licensed 96-bed limited mental health assisted living facility. they presented the residents with the annual NAMI Christmas party, led by the volunteers and advocates who work with mental health needs of local residents. the residents at Dayspring Village were treated to a pizza party, homemade goodies and gifts of new shoes.”For many of our residents these shoes are perhaps the only time in the next year they will get a new pair of shoes. For many who live with symptoms of schizophrenia, the illness and its symptoms can cause a loss of sleep, restlessness and often many will find walking a way to help relieve the symptoms or stress of the illness,” said Douglas Adkins, executive director.”Living with schizophrenia is a struggle and can be very stressful and for many new shoes are a welcome gift that provide comfort to their feet and also help reduce other longer term conditions with chronic back pain and other problems. Many of our residents when they go to the hospital, the staff will take away the shoelaces. once they are ready to come home, often they do not get the shoelaces back so they have to try and walk in shoes with no shoelaces.Adkins continued, “If you have ever tried to do this you can understand the problem and also how it makes you feel as a person. we discovered many years ago that the Velcro straps were a perfect answer to this problem and would ensure residents would have the dignity of good walking shoes even when they were ready for discharge. ever since this NAMI ‘shoe party’ started over 15 years ago by local advocacy leader Hattie Morris, we have seen many regain some dignity through the gift of new shoes.”He went on to say, “Often when former residents are at other facilities, some of the nurses at the hospital can recognize they were a resident at our facility simply by looking at the shoes on their feet. These shoes are a blessing in more ways than one and we are grateful.” Email this story Printer friendly version
