On The Nature Of Schizophrenia

The overall purpose of my paper is to give a general education to just anyone from teen years or older about what the nature of schizophrenia entails. In Part I, I express the demographics of it, the definition, the symptoms, and the potential causes. In Part II, I discuss several particular disorders - (paranoia, scopophobia, social anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive behavior, hallucination, and delusion). Of the first five of these just mentioned, they may overlap or interrelate with schizophrenia sometimes, but with the last two disorders mentioned they are direct symptoms of schizophrenia itself. They fit appropriately to list with these other five disorders that young people may develop too. In Part III, I discuss delusion in more detail: the history of the researchers in this field up thru present times - Jasper, Conrad, Murakami, and Pickard; I also give a hypothetical illustration with a diagram and fictitious story that brings alive how one might either succumb to delusion or rise above it. In Part IV, I first, give a very brief history of the treatments used for schizophrenia - anti-psychotic drugs for the patient, and the therapy that woes along with it that includes education on better understanding and copying with their disorder. In Part V, I talk about the general need for the masses to get more education in general on this topic for the sake of all of us. I reinforce at the very end the overwhelming importance of maintaining a good attitude towards life and others on the part of all of us.-- abstract
