Help ! ! I Think I Have Signs of Schizophrenia

Help ! ! I Think I Have Signs of Schizophrenia
When literally translated from its Greek roots, the word
"schizophrenia" means "split mind." It is this translation
that has led many people to confuse multiple personality
disorder with schizophrenia. While they are so similar that
scientists used to classify MPD as a form of schizophrenia,
it has since been proven that the two diseases are actually
independent of each other. This article is going to give a
basic rundown of the signs of schizophrenia.

Delusions are very common signs of schizophrenia with
people suffering from signs of schizophrenia. Delusion is
the word that is given to beliefs that the schizophrenic
has that other people do not also have. An example of this
is the belief that somehow their internal thoughts are
being broadcast for the rest of the world to hear.
Delusions can also come in the form of thinking that they
are being hunted down by an outside entity. Sometimes
delusions come in the form of the schizophrenic believing
that he or she has super powers and super abilities that
they do not actually have.

Hallucinations are another of the common signs of
schizophrenia. Hallucinations are typically in the form of
voices heard by the person who is suffering from the
disease. The voices come from outside of the
schizophrenic's head (this is one of the major differences
between multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia).
Sometimes the voices do not have a physical point of
origin. Sometimes the voices come from something that would
not ordinarily be talking and sometimes the voices come
from people that only the schizophrenic can see and hear.
These hallucinations often encourage or influence the
schizophrenic's behaviour. Sometimes the hallucinations
take on other sensations like smells and tastes.

Disorganized thinking and languages are more of the common
signs of schizophrenia. People who suffer from
schizophrenia will sometimes talk in ways that are
difficult for other people to understand. Their thoughts
will sometimes stop following a coherent pattern and their
speech can vary wildly. Schizophrenics will often talk
about several subjects at the same time but will not
connect the subjects to a central theme. They will skip
from subject to subject without warning.

There are a multitude of other signs of schizophrenia.
Schizophrenics are often depressed, prone to mood swings
and have problems connecting with other people. They can be
very withdrawn. Schizophrenics will have a hard time going
about their daily tasks like bathing, getting dressed and
eating. Some other signs of schizophrenia include problems
with movement. There is a form of schizophrenia called
Catatonic schizophrenia. With catatonic schizophrenia, the
patient can be just as likely to stop moving altogether as
they are to experience erratic and uncontrollable movement.

Most of the signs of schizophrenia are also associated with
other mental disorders and because of this, the disease can
be hard to diagnose. The key to getting treatment is to see
a professional as soon as possible if you or someone you
know starts to exhibit signs of schizophrenia.

Tip #1

Schizophrenia is not the same thing as having multiple
personality disorder. In multiple personality disorder a
person has a number of independent identities that all
share one host body. Typically one of the personalities is
dominant and the others exist under the surface. With
Schizophrenia, there could be independent personalities but
the person suffering from the disease believes that these
identities exist outside of him or herself.
