Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that causes a person to possess a unrealistic perception of reality, suffer from disturbing thoughts and feelings, and exhibit antisocial behavior. Schizophrenia symptoms generally appear in the late teens or early twenties, and affect almost one in every 100 people.
The first step in treating schizophrenia is to understand and recognize schizophrenia symptoms. While many people believe that those with schizophrenia possess multiple personalities, this is actually not the case. Those that exhibit multiple personalities are suffering from a condition called multiple personality disorder, which is similar to schizophrenia in the fact that they are both mental disorders, but are very different conditions. However, this confusion is common because those with schizophrenia, many times, think that they see or hear people or things that are not really there.
There are also many other schizophrenia symptoms that are common in those suffering from the disorder. Those with schizophrenia may be difficult for others to understand, as they may become very disorganized in thought and speak in strange ways. This can be as simple as not being able to concentrate or finish conversations or as severe as speaking in very random, nonsensical ways.
Many people that suffer from schizophrenia become withdrawn from friends and family members, as well as society as a whole. This can be due to a lack of interest, feelings of paranoia, irritability, or an inability to deal with hallucinations or emotions. Additionally, a small percentage of people suffering from schizophrenia will completely stop talking or spend long periods of time in weird positions, completely unmoving.
Schizophrenia symptoms may also manifest themselves physically. Those suffering from schizophrenia may lose their appetite, which may lead to weight loss, and practice poor hygiene. Those suffering from schizophrenia generally appear to be sick or to have completely lost interest in their appearance.
Recognizing schizophrenia symptoms in others may be difficult, since they tend to manifest themselves in so many different ways. Others may simply see a person’s behavior and write them off as “crazy” or “delusional”, instead of recognizing the true source of this behavior. However, recognizing the symptoms of schizophrenia in friends or family is the first step in diagnosing and successfully treating the illness.
