This schizophrenia is also known as foldermenia. This is a sub type of schizophrenia, a mental disorder distinguished by hallucinations. In this article we will discuss about disorganized schizophrenia.

Before starting with disorganized schizophrenia let us know some things about schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a major psychiatric disorder belonging to the group of disorders called as psychosis. It is an illness which often has a chronic course with occasional exacerbrations of symptoms rarely ending in total recovery. This disorder is characterized by disturbance in thinking, language and communication, perception, behavior, affect, violation and relation to the external world.

Disorganized schizophrenia

This is believed to be an extreme expression of the ‘disorganization syndrome that has been hypothesized to be one aspect of a three factor model of symptoms in schizophrenia.

Presentation

This type of schizophrenia is characterized by the high up disorganized behavior and speech. This includes schizophasia and flat or inappropriate emotion and affect. let us see the symptoms of disorganized schizophrenia.

• Disorganized thinking

This causes illogical and nonsensical though patterns. the disorganization can be noticed in a way the person talks. A person with disorganized thinking is unable to stay on one track thinking. he is unstable in conversations. he is prone to jump from one topic to other topic often.  This jumping is so rapid that it becomes impossible to understand what the person is talking about. making up of words is very common and written and verbal communication is also much disorganized.

• Grossly disorganized behavior

The disorganized behavior common to this category of schizophrenia causes severe problems regarding the ability to function in daily life. Bathing, dressing, or eating properly becomes impossible. People generally are seen confronting with others without any reason. they can be seen engaging in a sexual behavior at public places.

• Absent or inappropriate emotional expression

A person who has no emotions also called as flat emotions bears a blank face and doesn’t make any eye contact or use common body language. the person may show emotions some time but the range of the expressions expressed by him is very limited. Inappropriate emotions to the situations are also common in the patients who have disorganized schizophrenia. they can act silly or laugh out loudly during a serious event.

Other signs and symptoms of disorganized schizophrenia

Although the main symptoms of is organized schizophrenia have been discussed above, there are some other symptoms also which are seen in the patients suffering from this type of schizophrenia.

• Having beliefs which are not based on reality
• Having hallucinations i.e. seeing or hearing things which do not exist
• Grimacing
• Social isolation
• Clumsy, uncoordinated movements

The treatment of disorganized schizophrenia is not very different from the treatment of other types of treatment. it is done in the following ways:

Antypsytocic medicines are the primary treatment both for acute and chronic schizophrenia. they are effective in controlling the symptoms of acute schzizophrenia and also in preventing relapse in stabilized patients.

Antipsychotic drugs are very helpful in maintenance and stabilizing schizophrenic patients. many patients with schizophrenia are reluctant to take their maintenance medications because of lack of insight, unpleasant side effects and misconceptions about medications and its long term effects. Poor compliance often leads to relapse.

Electro convulsive therapy was originally introduced for the treatment of schizophrenic advances. there is no evidence of specific therauptic efficacy of ECT in chronic schizophrenia. ECT gives best result in catatonic withdrawal and stupor and so presence of catatonic symptoms is an indication for ECT.

Disorganized schizophrenia is not difficult to treat provided the treatment is given and taken in a proper way.

The performance of a variety of brain tumors, so the above symptoms should be promptly throat to the hospital for detailed examination of the hepatitis C, the current computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain tumor patients can make an early diagnosis.

1 headache

Weight about 1400 grams of soft brain and hold it between the cranial bone, there remain a very small gap, no space, occupy the certain brain tumors, will cause increased intracranial pressure, the resulting severe headache. Headache law is often in the early morning attack, often in emotional pain, sleep, wake up to be, but to get up

Activity, the headache will gradually ease and go away.

2, vomiting

Because of the increased intracranial pressure, leading to nutritional medullary respiratory center is stimulated, thereby vomiting man throat symptoms. after the headache and vomiting occurred more than men, mostly jet-like, male characters often spitting vomiting scattered around everywhere.

3, visual impairment

Under normal circumstances the eye from the eye back into the cerebral venous blood, increased intracranial pressure, makes the poor venous return, resulting in stasis edema, retinal damage on the visual cells of diarrhea, resulting in decreased vision. Severe retinal fundus little early, linear, sheet, or even the flame

Like bleeding, blurred visual distortion, or even blindness.

4, psychosis

Located in front of the brain’s frontal lobe brain tumor, cholesterol can damage the frontal lobe neural activity, causing excitement, restlessness, depression, depression, forgetfulness, fiction and other abnormalities.

5, unilateral limb paresthesia

Located in the middle of the parietal cerebral hemisphere specifically to deal with feelings, the brain area often leads to unilateral limb pain, temperature, vibration, physical discrimination of decline or disappear.

6, olfactory, or strangeness Magic

Department of Prevention of temporal lobe tumor can occur in the stimulation phantom smell, smell a does not exist, such as burnt rice, the smell of burnt rubber, and sometimes smell the tangy taste. Department of Cancer Prevention temporal lobe can also check the patient attention to its strangeness in people (actually very familiar with), the Throat symptoms more than a short, generally occur only ten seconds to minutes.

7, staggering gait, speech impulse

Little more specific brain localization throat symptoms, which patients often pay attention to headache, vomiting, and visual material obstacles to men, the emergence of hemiplegia know or drunken staggering gait. Accompanying by verbal impulse, not allowed to extract physical defense, not too far is inadequate.

8, tinnitus, deafness

This phenomenon was found more taboo in the call, that one ear can hear, not the other ear is deaf, hearing that the phenomenon is more a precursor of cholesterol neuroma.

9, gigantism

The disease prevalent in the pituitary tumor, the patient showed rapid growth, there acromegaly.

10, child growth and development of stagnation

More common in craniopharyngioma, clinical manifestations of the body is only 15-16 years old 5-6 years old children with high normal flu, sexual characteristics are not developed, the belly full of fat character

Is there a " biological " disease that resembles clinical depression?

There are many biological diseases that simlulate depression (or at least have the capacity to). These genrally have to be ruled out before a diagnosis of depression can be given. not my area of expertise but things such as brain tumours or glandular disorders can simulate depressive symptoms. There are also biological diseases that can simulate other psychiatric symptoms such as psychosis etc. however all of these generally come with other symptom and most of the time have simple ways to be tested for such as MRIs or Blood tests.
