Schizophrenia often presents as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction. Buddha's interactions with his followers, his sermons and lectures and the logic of his observation sand conclusions would indicate that the was not schizophrenic.

NPR is Anti-American because they do not support the propaganda backed by the pundits at Fox News. And the pundits at Fox News, though they are few, are loud. Consequently, NPR is considered Anti-American only because a few loud people (very loudly) say that this is the case. However, public-supported broadcasting is consistently the least biased, which some from the right even recognize.

The key element of schizophrenia is disordered thinking. This can manifest in delusions, hallucinations, or strange speech.

People with Type II, or negative schizophrenia, are usually described as poorly adjusted before their schizophrenia slowly overtakes them. They have predominantly "negative" symptoms, such as withdrawal from others and psychomotor retardation.

Most dominant personalities are the ones that deal with external life issues. They MUST be strong so that life can do on as normally as possible. Myth - That core / host personalities are the weakest link to any system Myth - That child alters are mere reflections of memory rather than having a life outside the abuse loop. Myth - That MPD / DID is a "mental" disorder. It is rather a coping skill. Myth - That those with multiple personalities are "disabled" and cannot function in life. Myth - That dominant personalities are the ones that seek out help the most. Myth - Dominance has to do with "birthright", meaning that the core is suppose to be the one encouraged to dominate the systems inside. This almost is never effective. Host personalities or core personalities are usually the ones who do most of the disassociating and have most of the memory loss. It is impossible for the core to be "in control" of the rest of the internal system. - The above refers to multiple groups who have been classified, often incorrectly, as having DID. For the multiple groups who do not have a disorder and would never meet the diagnostic criteria, being self-aware, and often sharing memories, there is a slightly different answer. 'Sometimes'. In the same way there are 'type A' and 'type B' personalities, in any multiple group there are extroverts and introverts, and those who like to boss others around, and those who are naturally better at leading, and also those who are naturally more selfish. (Generalization, multiple groups vary quite extremely) Groups vary on how they 'divy up time'. Some give it out equally, some it is a free for all, others make up very finely detailed rules. In some groups switching without permission is allowed, in some it is not. Myth - That having multiple people sharing one body must be a disorder, or a coping skill. Multiplicity is quite often naturally occuring, and having many people sharing one body is in no way a detriment to life unless individuals let communication issues or other problems get in the way - just like family. Myth - That having different people in one body means the 'first' one needs help or must have suffered trauma This is probably the largest myth multiples face, that their very existence means something went 'wrong' in the first person's life, and that they are merely the fragments caused by inability to process trauma in order to help cope Back on topic: The dominant personality, if there is one, in a multiple group is the person with the most 'dominant personality' - jsut like the 'dominant personality' in a room full of people is the person with the most dominant personality. This does not mean that persons always gets to make all the rules or be out front all the time, although often the most type A of the group will end up in front a lot, and the shyest will stay in back. The person with the most dominant personality may not be the 'strongest' or the 'smartest' either. Who is 'most dominant' can change, especially according to situation. A person who is usually forceful and likes to be out and about, but hates 'boring things' might not want to front during a museum tour. Or, if everyone has 'assignments' - such as who talks, who writes, who sings, etc, the force of individual personalities may not come into play as much.

I'm schizophrenic and haven't really had a problem with word association and/or determining what words are. The only answer I have for possibly such a situation as the word "kiss" being read as "kill" are the fact that the mind races so quickly, it often just jumps to the quickest word it assumes it might be. Considering each person's individuality and common trains of thought, I would assume this varies greatly.

its the same. bt adrenaline levels decrease

Schizophrenia is related to increased levels of dopamine.

Dopamine. which is a neurotrasmitter in the brain.

Schizophrenia is termed a major psychiatric disturbance because people with schizophrenia have great difficulty functioning in everyday life. Schizophrenia is a major psychiatric disturbance because it is a very serious problem.

The rates of psychotic disorders are about the same all around the world, at 1.1 percent. However, highly populated places such as cities have higher rates of schizophrenia than do rural areas, as do places with more viruses. Additionally, schizophrenia is diagnosed more often in higher-income countries. Schizophrenia is rarely diagnosed in Africa, for example, although there is about the same incidence of psychotic illness there as in other places.

Yeah they can, it's called "Propfschizophrenia". They used to think that antipsychotics were causing the intellectual disability (which is what you should call it instead of retardation) but later research found out that it only happens because they're co-occuring. Usually however intelligence and Paranoid Schizophrenia go hand in hand.

== == * Each patient that has been diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia is different and often different medications may have to be used (a cocktail.) It's up to the doctor to figure out what is best suited for that individual patient. * Antipsychotics- These inhibit dopamine, a neurotransmitter, that in excess, is believed to cause some of the symptoms of Schizophrenia. It works best on positive symptoms like hallucinations and paranoia. Zyprexa is an example of the newer generation of antipsychotics, which are believed to have less side effects than the older generations. All antipsychotic carry the risk of serious side effects such as severe weight gain, diabetes and other blood sugar related problems and Tardive Dyskinesia. Benzodiazepines- These are anti-anxiety medications like Xanax. Some patients benefit from these as anxiety/paranoia is a common symptom of Schizophrenia. Sometimes benzodiazepines can aggravate hallucinations, so they should be given with care. SSRIs/AntiDepressants- These are often used in conjunction with antipsychotics to treat depressive symptoms (if any) and negative symptoms (if any). Zoloft is an example of a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. A major risk is suicidal behavior. Other unconventional treatments include antihistamines, beta blockers, mood stabilizers and anti-seizure medications. Unfortunately, the only way to find out what will work is to guess and check. Electroconvulsive Therapy or "shock therapy" has shown little benefit for Schizophrenic patients and is very rarely used.

There is no specific type of schizophrenia that is associated with self-harm. Self-harm in schizophrenia is generally associated with delusions. For example, a patient with schizophrenia may believe that if he or she cuts off a finger then the world will be saved. Because self-harm in schizophrenia is associated with delusions, patients with paranoid schizophrenia or undifferentiated schizophrenia may be more likely to self-harm than patients with other types of schizophrenia.

In the medical report it means that this person is not well fit with the society.

Statistically, yes. There is a strong correlation between schizophrenia and genetics.

That said, schizophrenia occurs in about .5% of the general population. So while you are statistically more likely to develop symptoms than someone who has no schizophrenics in their family, it is still quite unlikely that you will develop symptoms.

I am by no means an expert on this issue. Depending on what it is, it may or may not be a mental health issue. If you are worried about it, I recommend seeing a phycologist so that they can evaluate your condition.

Therapy is often combined with medication management by a psychiatrist, but yes therapy is appropriate.

The first line of treatment will probably be a psychiatrist, a medical doctor who specializes in mental health. This person will prescribe medications to stabilize the patient. If the patient is in an institution, nurses will also help. Outside of an institution, a patient with schizophrenia may also see a psychologist. A social worker can help with living issues.

Yes, people in the city do more often have schizophrenia than those in rural areas.

Good question. Ask your psychiatrist, then your dentist, and compare.

Daily progress is being made. As to your question -- it is unanswerable.
