What is SCHIZOPHRENIA ? شرح بالعربى: أنفصام الشخصيىة الاعراض والتشخيص والعلاج
HOW TO TREAT SCHIZOPHRENIA
Psychotic symptoms, defined as a loss of reality testing, include :
1-Delusions (fixed false beliefs)
2- Hallucinations (false sensory perceptions)
3- Major derailments in thought processes
(e.g., loose associations)
in the absence of:
1- Prominent mood disturbance or
2- Neurocognitive deficits consistent with
delirium or dementia
1-Prevalence is 1 % in general population.
2-Children of an affected parent have
10% risk of developing the illness.
3-Risk is 50% if an identical (monozygotic)twin is affected.
A-“positive” symptoms:
Delusions and halucinatons
B-“negative symptoms”
such as affective flattening, apathy, and social withdrawal.
The level of functioning is impaired in one or more level(e.g., occupational,
interpersonal, or self-care)
Hallucinations are typically auditory but can occur in any sensory modality. They commonly involve voices from outside the head that talk to or about the person. Sometimes the voices repeat the person’s thoughts.
DELUSIONS: Patients may also describe ‘passivity of thought’, such as the delusional belief that their thoughts are being ‘withdrawn’from them and perhaps ‘broadcast’ to others,
and/or that alien thoughts are being ‘inserted’ into their mind.
