Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling mental illness. It affects men and women with equal frequency. It is basically a disease in which there is misinterpretation of information.
Introduction
Schizophrenia and other mental health disorders have fairly strict criteria for diagnosis. Time of onset as well as length and characteristics of symptoms are all factors. The active symptoms of schizophrenia must be present at least 6 months, or only 1 month if treated.
Symptoms
Social withdrawal in schizophrenia is a complex symptom with multiple contributing factors. It can be a result of "passive" motivation (disinterest or lack of drive to engage with others) or "active" motivation (fear, hostility, or distrust of 2 others).
Loss of hygiene is a common symptom of schizophrenia, often stemming from a lack of motivation or difficulty with daily tasks. It can manifest in various ways, such as neglecting bathing, brushing teeth, or changing clothes.
Delusions are a common symptom of schizophrenia. They are false beliefs that a person holds despite evidence that they are not true. Delusions can be very disturbing to the person experiencing them, and they can lead to unusual behaviors.
Types of Delusions
There are many different types of delusions. Some common types include:
- Delusions of persecution: The person believes that they are being harmed or harassed by others.
- Delusions of grandeur: The person believes that they are very important or powerful.
- Delusions of reference: The person believes that ordinary events have a special meaning for them.
