Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a common group of unknown etiology

Schizophrenia is a very complicated disease in terms of biology and methodology. The etiology and pathogenesis, treatment and prevention of schizophrenia have been the central topics of psychiatry research. Traditional medical models emphasize biological causes. According to this view, schizophrenia is an unknown cause. Because, since the discovery of pathogenic microorganisms, people are accustomed to treating the cause of various diseases as a single factor. If no single cause can be found, it is considered to be "undetermined." Many common diseases can be considered unknown, such as

Since Rudin (1916)

A typical manifestation of mental illness is the inability to control or participate in one's conscious thoughts or thinking ability. There are various reasons, such as schizophrenia. The "I" in the patient's mind often hears "a certain voice speaks to himself", or sees "someone is talking to himself", "someone" inside Maybe he doesn't exist in reality.

So why do patients think that "I" is the same or can feel this person? Explain that this person who may not exist was constructed as part of the patient's mind. It can be clearly seen that the patient's mind clearly distinguishes himself from this certain person, but this individual is still part of this patient's thought, or was once a part, and now seems to be out of the patient's " "I" control enjoys a separate part of thinking control, affecting the patient's supervisory thinking, which is a contradictory process. One of the most likely reasons is that because his complete thinking ability was broken by a strong external factor, he lost control of his own more or less part of his thinking, and his thinking was dislocated. It can be said that it is indirectly thinking Some part is controlled by this external factor, which should be at least one of the main reasons for the formation of such diseases.

Generally speaking, patients are also people who are more sensitive to external perceptions. Therefore, they may have a stronger sense of self. Normal people seem to be more confident. They have complete ownership of their thoughts. A suitable and free living environment, a good education method with undue interference, can enable them to develop this ability, and their complete thinking ability is as confident as a full-blown fire. When the fire of thought is weakened, people The corresponding form cannot be confident. Because the cause of this condition is some kind of strong interference from the outside world, one of the treatment methods should be at least to make it no longer affected by this source of interference, and use appropriate methods to assist him to return to consciousness and be able to control himself The "complete" form, that is, let him be a "complete" person at the level of thinking, so the key point is to "give him the ability to control his thinking by himself".

Schizophrenia is the most common type of mental illness. The early manifestations are personality changes, such as neglecting loved ones, not talking about hygiene, and smiling at the mirror alone. The condition further developed, that is, the thinking was disordered, the patient's thinking process lacked logic and coherence, the words were disordered, and the words were unsatisfactory. In addition, the more typical symptoms are delusions and hallucinations. The so-called delusion is an unfounded imagination, such as thinking that someone is going to murder him, or thinking that he is a great inventor or world hero. Hallucinations can include visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and hallucinations, such as seeing "ghost charm", hearing others talking about him, and feeling that food has bitter taste.

If you have a mental illness, you should go to a psychiatric clinic in time. If schizophrenia is identified, medication should be performed. Commonly used are chlorpromazine (Hibernian spirit), triflurazine, etc. The dosage should be determined by the physician based on the condition. When the condition basically improves, psychological treatment should be strengthened so that patients have an understanding of their illness and build confidence in defeating the disease. For patients with chronic schizophrenia, they should be encouraged to participate in collective labor, increase contact with society, and carry out appropriate cultural and sports activities. When the condition is relieved, you need to continue taking the drug for a period of time, and premature withdrawal is very likely to relapse. Patients with schizophrenia generally have personality defects, such as sensitivity, suspicion, loneliness, and stubbornness. Therefore, after the relief of mental illness, the cultivation of mental sentiment should be strengthened. Patients' families, work units, etc. should also be given appropriate care to help them overcome difficulties in work, study, and life, and avoid irritating patients.

Patients with schizophrenia can participate in work after being cured, but they should not be employed in jobs that require an emergency response, such as drivers. Nor should it be a task that requires major decisions. Patients with schizophrenia can get married and have children after they are cured. However, if both spouses have schizophrenia, or if there are several people in the family with schizophrenia, it is not appropriate to have children to avoid inheriting schizophrenia to future generations.

Schizophrenia is a disease like heart disease and liver disease. Patients should be treated correctly and not be inferior. As long as they are treated seriously and they are trained, they can be cured. Family members and colleagues of patients should also respect and considerate patients. Mocking, discriminating, and teasing patients are all unethical behaviors and should be resolutely stopped.
