Definition of schizophrenia :

It is a mental illness and a defect in brain chemistry in the secretion of dopamine (excessive activity in the dopamine receptors throughout the D2 brain) that affects the individual by disturbing his thinking, behavior and feeling.

Receiving effective treatments enables the person to live and integrate into his life and relationships naturally.

Causes of schizophrenia :

schizophrenia diagnosis

Having a dysfunction in the brain

Having a genetic predisposition.

Environmental factor: where the environment plays an important and significant role in the development of the disease. One of these causes is the environment, feeling extreme injustice, poverty, problems with prenatal nutrition, or living in a dangerous and stressful environment.

    What helps the disease to develop the most is the feeling of injustice and conspiracy, and these feelings naturally exist in two stages, the first of which is the adolescence stage, so schizophrenia is usually diagnosed for age groups peak adolescence 16-21 and before the age of wisdom 29-35.

Symptoms associated with schizophrenia :

hallucinations

Delusions are the first characteristic of schizophrenia, where he talks to inanimate objects as if they were speaking to him for real.

exaggeration

Dress inconsistent with the weather ,You find a schizophrenic patient in the hot summer wearing a coat or pullover, and you may find him in the cold winter wearing a light undershirt.

Neglecting appearance and personal hygiene

Wearing dirty or unsuitable clothes, no hygiene and no renovation.

Not reacting appropriately to events (cold reaction) ,If a situation occurs in front of him that calls for a strong reaction, help or sympathy, such as a traffic accident, for example, you will find that he does not show any reaction at all and remains as it is as if nothing happened and he may be in his own world of perceptions that he sees.

A normal person may fall into the trap of daydreaming if he thinks too much about it. The perceptions that a schizophrenic person sees are 10 times the perceptions of a healthy person.

Schizophrenia treatment :

schizophrenia medication 

 Drug treatment (antipsychotic drugs), where the anti-dopaminergic drugs block dopamine receptors from receiving it because of its excessive secretion, which causes the imbalance and the apparent symptoms of the disease.

Psychotherapy is also used until the person reaches the ability to see in himself and differentiate the disease from reality, as well as social therapy and training in social skills and daily and personal activities.

The sooner those around people suffering from schizophrenia seek treatment and since the first psychotic episode, the easier it will be to recover from it. As for neglecting the patient and delaying treatment, the disease exacerbates and complicates the disease.

A patient with schizophrenia does not pose any danger or threat to society, but this may happen in the event of deterioration of the disease and delay in treatment.
