  1. Article 1: Spribrooklyn.com IDENTIFYING SCHIZOPHRENIA Schizophrenia is one of the most misunderstood mental disorders out there. Whether it is due to lack of information or abundance of misconceptions, people really don’t understand this health condition at all, often leading to doubts and apprehensions that can even materialize into mistreatment of patients. This article will attempt to set the record straight. Schizophrenia is referred to as a brain disorder affecting the way a person thinks, behaves, and sees the world. Many schizophrenia research studies found that people affected with this disorder often have a different perception of reality. They may speak in confusing or strange ways, they can see or hear things that don’t exist, and they arebe certain that others are trying to harm them, or may feel like they are being constantly watched. Their behavior makes it difficult to conduct the activities of daily life, and they may end up always acting in confusion and fear or withdrawing themselves from the outside world. How schizophrenia appears differs from person to person. In some, it appears suddenly and without warning. But most of the times, it comes on slowly, with subtle cautionary signs. Other people, often report that something was wrong with their friend or loved one, but they just didn’t know what. People here need to identify the early signs of schizophrenia so that proper medical attention can be fetched for the patients. The most common early warning signs include: The person falls into depression and withdraws himself/herself socially. Deterioration of personal hygiene. Oversleeping or insomnia. Extreme reaction to criticism. Hostility or suspiciousness. Inability to concentrate. Inability to express emotions, i.e., crying or laughing, inappropriately expressing emotions. Strange use of words or way of speaking, i.e., odd or irrational statements. However, a number of other medical problems too can cause these warning signs, still, they are a cause for concern. If you still can’t make sure about the disease, here are five types of characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia: Delusions: They are extremely common in this disorder, occurring in more than 90% of cases with schizophrenia.Often, this involves bizarre or illogical ideas or fantasies. Hallucinations: Hallucinations are sensations involving any of the five senses and experienced as real in the person's mind affected with this disorder. The most common senses schizophrenic hallucination is auditory. Disorganized speech: A characteristic of schizophrenia is fragmented thinking and it can be observed in the way a person speaks. Disorganized behavior: An inability of a person to take care of him/herself, works, and interacts with others. And the other “negative” symptoms: Absence of normal behavior. Although schizophrenia is believed to be chronic and it cannot be cured. But that doesn't mean there is no hope. If done correctly, Schizophrenia can be successfully managed. The very first step is to recognize the signs and symptoms of schizophrenia during the initial stage. The second step is not to delay and seek help.
