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.

I know about relapse and remitting. but I mean when your getting symptoms is it there all the time or can it come and go?

"Symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from person to person and from time to time in the same person. for example, one person may experience abnormal fatigue, while another might have severe vision problems. a person with MS could have loss of balance and muscle coordination making walking difficult; another person with MS could have slurred speech, tremors, stiffness, and bladder problems. while some symptoms will come and go over the course of the disease, others may be more lasting."

What Silver Tongue said…lol

Reactions to MS are variable as the persons who are affected by it. However, from the little I know about MS, and from the few people that I know that have it, yes, the symptoms come and go. The good news is that advancements are being made everyday, and soon they will figure out how to stop it. best wishes.

It comes and goes, but each time it leaves more scaring on the nervous systems

yes it comes and goes

The Swank Diet is supposed to be good for MS patients (See Dr Whitaker's Guide to Natural Healing).

We have heard testamonies that some people have gotten good results from drinking monavie juice.

My uncle has MS but i don't know much about it…. sorry
I think it comes and goes, but i'm not sure…

Yes, they can go into remission but generally increase in severity and frequency the further the disease progresses.

I have MS and my symptoms come and go. Sometimes worse than others. if u suspect that u have MS u should see ur doc soon.

Yes, usually the symptoms come and go, however, in case of primary progressive MS, symptoms come and never go and even worse they deteriorate all the time.

There is little absolite with MS
You can have symptoms that come or increase during the day

They can come and go to some extent.- Reailze that the physical damage cannot be confirmed to cause a particular symptom

Its a strange disease.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what causes the relapses of malaria in infected people. we were doing it in bio yesterday and I asked why after so many months and after some treatment the parasites can lie dormant in the liver and then cause symptoms of malaria once more. it always says it CAn cause a relapse but never says WHY… My teacher didn't know and I offered to look it up, I haven't found it yet and I wanted to see if anyone knew lol…
So if you could help it would be great!

i dont know specifically about malaria but there a lot of things like herpes which gives cold sores that lie dormant then when ur run down or catch a virus they flare up again, so it could be like this.
