Chapter 1: The Truth About Schizophrenia
For those with schizophrenia, comprehending the illness itself is an important step towards healing.
Schizophrenia, frequently thought of as a mental illness, is better understood as a disease of the brain. It influences 1% of the world's population. But in spite of its occurrence, schizophrenia remains widely misinterpreted.
Let's take a look at some typical mistaken beliefs.
Myth # 1 Having schizophrenia signifies moral failing or weakness. For the 70 million people impacted everywhere in the world please know, that it's not your fault. Genes, biology and nature all coalesce to trigger the changes in brain structure and neurochemistry that result in schizophrenia.
The illness manifests as trouble with thinking, behaving or losing the ability to differentiate what's real from what's not. Those symptoms, which generally start in the late teens, are usually referred to as a "break from reality."
Myth # 2 - The ones with schizophrenia are pretty dangerous. The truth of the situation is that affected people are no more dangerous than the general population. And they are in fact, more likely to be victims of violence.
Myth # 3 - Schizophrenia means a person has split personalities. There is one character and felt confident, it is not flawed.
So, what takes place to the brain in schizophrenia?
A healthy brain includes four parts - the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes. At the really pointer of the frontal lobe is the prefrontal cortex which is responsible for "executive function" - our capability to organize thoughts, think obviously, and understand consequences. It's the part of our brain that lets us get up in the morning, make breakfast, plan our day, and make decisions. In a person with schizophrenia, the prefrontal cortex is shrunken, which can lead to signs of disorganization, confusion, and therefore, trouble meeting fundamental needs of daily life.
On a more micro level, schizophrenia can change the transference of chemical signals throughout the brain. For example, the overabundance of excitatory neurotransmitters - like dopamine and glutamate - results in hallucinations, hearing and seeing things that aren't truly there - or delusions, repaired false beliefs.
In some cases the deceptions can include thinking someone's an angel or world leader. In other cases, the delusions might be frightening, such as worry that one's a devil, or a target of the CIA.
Sometimes the symptoms of schizophrenia are more subtle. Lethargy, low motivation, trouble assembling meaningful sentences, or disregarding self-care by not showering or eating can result from low levels of serotonin - another neurotransmitter.
Active research on schizophrenia aims to explore the extent to which genetics, leisure drug use, and life style stress factors, including trauma, contribute to the development of the disease.
Because more research is needed for us to have a more intimate grasp of the causes of schizophrenia, many people perpetuate Myth # 4 - Schizophrenia is a hopeless condition.
Absolutely nothing could be farther from the truth.
Recovery is possible. A mix of early prevention, medication, talk treatment, and peer support, can help sufferers of this brain disease conquer symptoms and recover their lives. With treatment, people can fulfill dreams and master the three significant domains of life - work, play and love.
Myth # 5 - Schizophrenia can be overcome by determination.
Like diabetes and asthma, schizophrenia symptoms can't be managed without intervention.
Here's how medication works. Antipsychotic drugs bring back the delicate chemical balance in the brain. They reinforce connections between neurons and help regenerate growth in the prefrontal cortex. There's even hope for the most serious and treatment resistant cases, thanks to new drugs.
Some people are hindered from treatment because of stigma or fear of side effects. Other individuals might postpone treatment because they do not believe that they have the illness - a phenomenon called "anosognosia."
This is where you, as society, can make a positive effect. Unmasking the myths of schizophrenia will help stabilize it as a medical condition and make people less scared to seek treatment.
Remember that schizophrenia can influence any of us. People with schizophrenia may experience a break from reality from time to time, but they're not broken. And regardless of their disease, people with schizophrenia can make fantastic contributions to our community.
Chapter 2: A Brief History of Schizophrenia
What does the word 'schizophrenia' mean?
In 1910, the Swiss shrink Paul Eugen Bleuler (d. 1939) coined the term 'schizophrenia' from the Greek words schizo ('split') and phren ('mind'). Bleuler had intended the term to denote a 'loosening' of thoughts and feelings, but, unfortunately, lots of people read it (and still read it) to mean a 'split personality'.
What does the word 'schizophrenia' not mean?
Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Weird Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) did much to promote the principle of a 'split personality', which is sometimes also described as 'multiple personality disorder' (MPD). Having said that, MPD is a vanishingly uncommon condition that is completely unassociated to schizophrenia. The huge bulk of psychiatrists, myself included, have never seen a case of MPD, and many if not most suspect that such a condition doesn't exist. Yes, schizophrenia victims could hear different voices, or harbour unusual beliefs, but this is not the exact same as having a 'split personality'. Unlike Dr Jekyll, schizophrenia victims don't all of a sudden alter into a completely different, unrecognizable individual.
