A psychiatrist would be called to prescribe medication. Then, a psychologist or therapist would give therapy. If the person needs help with finance and other everyday things, a social worker would help with that.
Yes, because a psychiatrist can prescribe medicine and medicine is one way to treat schizophrenia.
social worker
Someone with schizophrenia who wasn't taking medication would have the same blood pressure as anyone else (112/64).
I would think a psychiatrist would be the place to start along with a certified counselor who specializes in schizophrenia.If one is suffering from schizophrenia one should see a psychiatrist, preferably one who, to some extent at least, specializes in this area.(Has the patient been diagnosed as schizophrenic?It's not something that lay peoplecan generally diagnose and there is much misunderstanding about it.)
Psychosis is a term that refers to an individual who is out of touch with reality. An example of psychosis is Schizophrenia.
Depokote consists of a compound of sodium valproate and valproic acidIt is not used to treat schizophrenia it is for Bi-polar disorder.It can actually cause hallucinations as a side effect!The best medicine for schizophrenia would be one of the newer anti-psychotics such as Risperdal or Seroquel.
No. What you are looking for is homeostasis. Schizophrenia is a condition of the brain were someone would talk to themselves or argue with themselves, taking both sides of an argument... much like Golum/Smegul from The Lord of the Rings.
You would see a psychiatrist, who may also recommend other professionals if you need more help. If you need help with day-to-day living (i.e. money and work), see a social worker.
The medication is called Risperdal or risperidone. It is in a class of antipsychotics, and it would be taken to allieviate symptoms of schizophrenia.
No. Disorganized schizophrenia makes it hard for people to focus on one thing at a time, and also makes it hard to focus on everyday tasks, including doing homework and getting ready for school.
Schizophrenia is a noun, so you use it as you would any other noun (when it is appropriate). Example: Joe developed schizophrenia last spring.
Paranoid schizophrenia is a mental health disorder in which the person believes that he or she is being persecuted when he or she is not, shows a pervasive (continuing) pattern of this, and has those beliefs when most people would say that there is no reason to believe that the person is being persecuted. If John believed that people at work were trying to hurt him and were always talking behind his back, then that would be an indication that John had paranoid schizophrenia. Paranoid adolescent schizophrenia would be paranoid schizophrenia in teenagers, not in adults.
