The above link gives some information on schizophrenia how what scientists and studies have proven about this illness.There is some good information that it entails how genes inform in it and how associates with genes.
Schizophrenia as we all know is a very severe illness that some suffer from. People with this illness hear voices in there head,think other people around them are trying to hurt them,become fearful of others, hallucinations, delusions, and so on. People who suffer from this illness have a problem having relationships with other individuals because of the tragic experiences that they face and that they have no control over.
Articles have said that a lot of people get this illness by the age 18 and mostly in the twenties and thirties. Some that get it in early childhood as well. It affects more then women.This illness disables the brain. There really a curable treatment just supportive psychologists that assist in therapy for people that have this illness. However there are medications that can be somewhat useful and helpful with people that suffer from it but they have said that medications can really only help the psychosis part it triggers. Not so much the whole entire effects of the chronic illness. But at least there is medications that can help bits and pieces of it.
Illness such as schizophrenia has no really no real treatment like many other disorders. All there is basically is therapy to try and help them. It is relatively sad.All there is really is hope. Yes hope that we can find a treatment for it. We just need to be supportive when we see people with this illness and be thankful we are not in there position and pray that we never will have to be in that position and if so hopefully wish people would not look at us any differently.

This is a very interesting post. It shows how so many things aren't fully treatable. But with this illness, like you said, it's very good that we can fix at least some parts of it.
ReplyDeleteYes I think any illness would be awful to have.But this I think would be super hard because it keeps you from having communcaution with people that would be super hard I think.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have learned about schizophrenia it does usually appear in a person's teenage years which is very sad. Medication may or may not help depending upon whether the individual takes it regularly or not. Schizophrenia becomes worse as a person ages; I do not know if that is from the drugs or the illness itself.
