Sample Book Insights: #1 Schizophrenia means fatigue and confusion, trying to separate every experience into the real and the unreal, and not being aware of where the edges overlap. It means trying to think straight when there are many obstacles in your way. #2 Sympathy is the ability to put yourself in the place of someone else and understand their situation. It is difficult to sympathize with those who are afflicted with schizophrenia, as it is difficult to understand their situation and their disease process. #3 When listening to people with schizophrenia describe their experiences, certain abnormalities can be noticed: altered senses, inability to sort and interpret incoming sensations, delusions and hallucinations, altered sense of self, changes in emotions, changes in movements, and changes in behavior. #4 The senses are often altered in the early stages of breakdown in individuals with schizophrenia. These changes may be either enhancement or blunting, and all sensory modalities may be affected.

Download or read book Schizophrenia Research Trends written by Konstance V. Almann and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling psychosis, which is an impairment of thinking in which the interpretation of reality is abnormal. Psychosis is a symptom of a disordered brain. Approximately One percent of the population worldwide develops schizophrenia during their lifetime. Although schizophrenia affects men and women with equal frequency, the disorder often appears earlier in men, usually in the late teens or early twenties, than in women, who are generally affected in the twenties to early thirties. People with schizophrenia often suffer symptoms such as hearing internal voices not heard by others, or believing that other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. The current evidence concerning the causes of schizophrenia are many. It is quite clear that multiple factors are involved. These include changes in the chemistry of the brain, changes in the structure of the brain, and genetic factors. Viral infections and head injuries may also play a role. New molecular tools and modern statistical analyses allow focusing in on particular genes that might make people more susceptible to schizophrenia by affecting, for example, brain development or neurotransmitter systems governing brain functioning. State-of-the-art imaging techniques are being used to study the living brain. They have recently revealed specific, subtle abnormalities in the structure and function of the brains of patients with schizophrenia. In other imaging studies, early biochemical changes that may precede the onset of disease symptoms have been noted, prompting examination of the neural circuits that are most likely to be involved in producing those symptoms. This book presents new and important research in the field.
