Schizophrenia
Science tries to label everything, and I say they have done
one hell of a job. But also you need to understand that in the
same way, science kills god. Yes it is the truth because science
wants you to believe that we were formed from amino acids in
a puddle somewere and this is what brought us to were we are
today.
Is it true? I cant answer this because I have no idea. I am
not sure were I stand on the religion issue and the science
issue. On one hand science sounds believable, because still
to this day we as people are still evolving as science said
we would. But also with science always having an explanation
for everything comes to the situation at hand.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia affects approximately one in one hundred. The
disease affects men and women about equally and its onset is
usually in the late teens or early twenties.
Schizophrenia is a thought disorder, where there is a disturbance
in thought patterns and processes. People with schizophrenia
usually have several of the following symptoms:
- disconnected and confusing language
- poor reasoning, memory and judgment
- high level anxiety
- eating and sleeping disorders
- hallucinations-hearing and seeing things that only exist in
the mind of the consumer
- delusions-persistent false beliefs about something, e.g. that
others are controlling their thoughts
- deterioration of appearance and personal hygiene -tendency
to withdraw from others
Unfortunately there are many myths about schizophrenia. Persons
with schizophrenia do not have "split personality" and are not
prone to violence. Their illness is not caused by bad parenting
and it is not a weakness of character. Their illness is due
to biochemical disturbance of the brain. Approximately one third
of those with a schizophrenic episode will never have symptoms
again. Another one third will have periodic episodes, with periods
of no symptoms in between. The last third require ongoing treatment.
New medications and rehabilitation bring hope in managing this
disease.
Affective Disorders
I understand that we do have people out there that are not stable
and are mentally ill, but out of the 100% what if 10% were just
becomeing sensative(psychic), and another 2% were comeing under
some kind of possesion or supression? Most of the syptoms we
see labled there are also seen with sensatives who have not
learned to control how open they are , or do not understand
what is happening to them.
"Hallucinations-hearing and seeing things that only exist
in the mind of the consumer." Well this symptom right here
most of the people who have opened up and become sensative have
had.
And what about this? "disconnected and confusing language
. delusions-persistent false beliefs about something, e.g. that
others are controlling their thoughts ..deterioration of appearance
and personal hygiene -tendency to withdraw from others"
Well I know I have heard this before in possesion style cases.
Now I am not saying that these people with these symptoms are
ok, I am saying that in my beliefs and from what I have seen
being in this field for as long as I have, I believe that some
people(being a small amount of the total) have been wrongly
diagnosed with an illness that science has named, when if fact
that are not at all ill in a scientiffic way.
You as people have to sit back and think of this before you
reply, let it sink in and even do some research. But I would
love to here your thoughts and beliefs on this matter.
