What is acute schizophrenia?

Acute schizophrenia occurs when a healthy person previously shows symptoms of schizophrenia and increasingly unusual behavior after a relatively short period of time, sometimes only a few weeks. Schizophrenia is a serious and deactivating disease of the brain that causes people with this disease to have difficulty determining the difference between real and represented events. They could hear voices that are not there, experience hallucinations and become extremely paranoid, indeed think that others will conspire against them. Many patients with schizophrenia have suicidal thoughts. These serious experiences may cause suffering schizophrenia to be afraid of other people and are afraid to go to the public and can make interpersonal relationships difficult.

In general, patients can lead normal lives between attacks of acute schizophrenia that can manifest several times during a person's life. Statistics show that 25 percent of people diagnosed schizophrenia will have only one acute schizophrenic episode in life and will not have any otherImage problems. Another 25 percent will develop a chronic form of schizophrenia, without remission. The remaining half will also develop chronic schizophrenia, but will have a period of remission during which the disease relapses.

In addition to chronic and acute schizophrenia, there are five types of diseases of paranoid schizophrenia, catatonic schizophrenia, residual schizophrenia, disorganized or hebephrenic schizophrenia and undifferentiated disorder. Symptoms of chronic and acute schizophrenia develop earlier in men late, often in adolescents or early 20 years. The beginning of symptoms in women occurs when they are 20 to 30 years of age. In rare cases, schizophrenia may occur in children. Common symptoms of all types of disease include hallucinations, auditory deluits, disrupted thinking, disorders affecting movement, lack of expression, social withdrawal and other cognitive deficits.

There is no known medicine for schizophrenia,But antipsychotic drugs significantly improve symptoms and can prevent relapse. Psychological therapy could also reduce relapse and help patients. The outlook for finding treatment and more treatment options depends on the continuing research of its causes, prevention and treatment results. Progress has been reported and a greater understanding of the symptoms and treatment of schizophrenia has been achieved.
