Schizophrenia
Out of all the disorders in the DSM schizophrenia has been the most interesting to me. How can someone be normal and then become disconnected from the world? Not just disconnected but in some cases they become super violent. I have never met someone with schizophrenia but I would like to. I want to get to know more about this disorder and whats better than actually hanging with someone that has schizophrenia. I want to see how they act in person and find out what it is that they think. Since schizophrenia is such a serious disorder so serious that the person can cause damage to themselves or others, I am all for that person taking antipsychotics. Antipsychotics can really help a schizophrenic with the hallucinations and delusions. One question I have about schizophrenia is if the substance abuse schizophrenia is any different than non substance abuse schizophrenia? Some people also say that schizophrenia is somewhat demonic. I find it interesting that alot of people with schizophrenia see demons when they hallucinate. Its crazy that several schizophrenics report seeing demons when they hallucinate, I mean maybe this disorder can be demonic? The little girl in this video said a ghost told her to hurt her father and she says that she has to listen to the ghost.

It is heart wrentching as it is for anyone to have this disorder, let alone a child. The sad part is that more and more children are being diagnosed and at a younger age (I would like to know why). To answer your question, schizophrenia due to substance abuse is not different from the regular disorder, simply the way it was aquired is different.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same about demonic possession as part of the dissorder or something, but that's really taking it far. There's no way we would be able to tell. Another thing that rose a question in my mind was how often are schizophrenic patients mistook for a demonic possession and then have undergone exorcism? I don't know. Something to think about..
