Schizophrenia Symtpoms

People with mental dissociation can lose contact with reality (psychosis), suffer hallucinations delusions (false beliefs), have abnormal thoughts, be impaired socially, and negatively impact their work.

Where does the word Schizophrenia come from?

Etymologically it means "split mind." The term was meant to underline the alterations in the thought process presented by the people who suffer.

Currently Schizophrenic symptoms are divided into two large groups:

The overt symptoms of dissociation of personality consist of those abnormal manifestations that patients experience, such as seeing things that do not exist (hallucinations) or thinking that things are not true (delusions) occur.

Covert Symptoms

The covert mental dissociation symptoms consist of those manifestations that suggest that the subject is losing abilities to think, feel or do things normally.

Other Symptoms of Schizophrenia

The main problem related to the symptoms of this pathology is that the majority are subjective. Only the patient experiences them, so they cannot be verified. The second is that dissociation of personality is a disease that presents many and varied manifestations, but none are specific to it; however, it may also be present in other mental disorders.

The most characteristic symptoms of this disease are:

Delusions: Misconceptions that the patient is convinced of. For example, to believe that everyone is against him or or are trying to harm himher.

Hallucinations

Hallucinations: Perceive something that does not exist. For example, hearing voices (insults or talking behind one's back) or seeing objects or faces not there.

Dissociation of Personality Treatment parallel to Addiction Recovery

Mental dissociation can be treated, as well as anxiety. A client that follows the treatment prescribed by our mental health specialists at La Joya Recovery can expect to see a significant reduction in symptoms and special attention for reintegration into society. Combined with alcohol treatment, we may lead you to a healthy life.

1

Paranoid schizophrenia

It is the most frequent subtype. Delusional ideas of persecution or prejudice of other people towards the patient predominate.
2

Hebephrenic schizophrenia

Alterations in emotions predominate. The manifestations of what is called emotional incongruity are characteristic in which, for example, the patient laughs for no apparent reason. Its beginning is earlier than the previous one and more serious.
3

Catatonic schizophrenia

t is characterized by motor alterations, usually persistent immobility, although it may alternate with agitation crisis or may present repetitive movements. It usually responds better to treatment.
Undifferentiated schizophrenia: When a schizophrenia does not meet the criteria of the previous subtypes or presents several of them, it is called undifferentiated.
Dual Diagnosis and Treatment of Schizophrenia

A psychiatrist makes the diagnosis based on an evaluation of the person's history and their symptomatology.

To establish the diagnosis of mental dissociation, the symptoms must last for at least six months and be associated with significant impairment of work, studies, or social development. Information from family, friends, or teachers is essential to establish when the disease began.

The doctor should rule out the possibility that an affective disorder causes the patient's psychotic symptoms. Laboratory tests are often performed to rule out an underlying endocrine or neurological condition that may have some characteristics of psychosis. These disorders are brain tumors, temporal lobe epilepsy, autoimmune diseases, Huntington's disease, liver diseases, and adverse drug reactions.

To establish the diagnosis of mental dissociation or schizophrenia, the symptoms must last for at least six months and be associated with significant impairment of work, studies, or social development. Information from family, friends, or teachers is essential to establish when the disease began.
