The first question I would ask is if the patient is participating in behavior that interferes with weight gain such as dieting, fasting, excessive exercise, or purging. Although depression may cause certain behaviors that interfere with weight, Anorexia Nervosa involves a purposeful and persistent behavior with efforts to control or lose weight. Weight loss that […]
Sickness should not be taken lightly, but acted on quickly. Edgar Allen Poe is the creator of the story, “Tell Tale Heart,” where the main character’s actions are distinct from what a healthy minded person would do. When analyzing the story “Tell Tale Heart,” it is apparent that schizophrenia, severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and anxiety […]

Get startedIntroduction Are Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland as foolish and silly as it is by all accounts with no hints of ethics covering up underneath the odd molded teacups and warped grins? Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, composed by an English creator in 1865 under the nom de plume Carroll, contains obscurities that always left me curious […]
Abstract: Alice is seen to have Schizophrenia. She sees things that aren’t there, she talks with caterpillars and associates with imaginary things, such as floating cats.

Robert Whitakers book Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America argues that mental illness has been exacerbated by pharmacological treatments. He does so by dividing his book into five sections to thoroughly make his points. The five sections of the book are; the epidemic, the […]
The condition I’ve chosen to write about is schizophrenia, “schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality.” (NIMH » Schizophrenia. 2020). “Schizophrenia is a complex, chronic mental health disorder characterized by an array of symptoms, including […]

Schizophrenics aren’t capable of deciphering the difference between reality and what is being imagined in their heads. Contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia isn’t a multiple or split personality disorder, and those affected with this disorder aren’t […]
Major mental health disorders conventionally share particular genetic malfunctions. Psychiatric disorders have a tendency to show the medical histories of families, and this suggests probable genetic ancestries to these mental health disorders. These types of mental health disorders can range from autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder, major depression, and schizophrenia. There are several common symptoms between […]
Schizophrenia is a serious mental condition that greatly impacts the way a person thinks, feels, and behaves. Someone who suffers from this illness has difficulty perceiving reality and often suffers from hallucinations and delusions. Although this mental disorder is not as common as others, the symptoms of schizophrenia can be very dangerous. Schizophrenia is more […]
The disease schizophrenia was discovered in 1887 by Dr. Emile Kraepelin. It was first classified as “dementia praecox” to distinguish it from forms of dementia that occur later in life. The term “schizophrenia,” schizo (split), and phone (mind) was created in 1911 by Eugene Bleuer (Gregg, 2014). This was done because Kraeplin’s name for the […]
I-Search Facts ‘’How would you improve the state of a schizophrenic who is in the worst state, what would be of the most help? How can schizophrenia be treated?’’ – When looking into and researching schizophrenia you will find that tThere is no real cure for schizophrenia, but a schizophrenia can be treated, with new medications that have come out they are long term treatments to help sustain a routine and help the patient at all points in there lives. A physical therapist, a therapist, group therapy, or rehabilitation therapy are suggested to help with goal setting so that even a schizophrenic in the worst state can regain confidence in themselves.
Along with social workers and therapy long-term medications are needed. – Although there is not a cure for schizophrenia, a Sschizophrenic’s in the worst state can be treated, with medications and are needed, but physical fitness can also help dramatically in that person’s life and health.

A few ways are trough lifelong treatments which are needed, physical therapy, and in some cases hospitalization. – Throughout a schizophrenic’s life they may have highs or lows, and changes in there lives, but throughout that they need to have a routine, this includes staying on their treatment so that even in a low time they can have stability.
Doctors say that the most common reason that schizophrenics get to a bad place or go into a terrible state is that the person goes off of their medication and then becomes more and more unstable in till it is to late and they need to do more than was needed originally to get back to a normal routine. So yes there are ways to treat a schizophrenic in the worst state, but there are also ways to avoid being in the worst state in some cases. (But often schizophrenic’s stop their treatment because of traumatic events in their life like dealing with loss.) ‘’How could schizophrenia start in a blood line and what gene might carry schizophrenia? How can schizophrenia be passed down to future generations?’’ – The exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown, but there are many different factors that could play into inheriting schizophrenia. There are a number of cause’s, but the most well known are physical, genetic, physiological, environmental factors and even childhood trauma.
If schizophrenia were frequent in the family than the many region that might carry schizophrenia is chromosome 22q11. – Schizophrenia is a mental disorder which is past down through family or inherited. Many scientist have made extraordinary discoveries, but still there is no exact cause for schizophrenia, but there are still some inferences to how schizophrenia could have been caused for example it could have been caused by the environment, Psychological past and many other aspects to why or how schizophrenia could have been caused. If schizophrenia were an inherited trait through out a family there are many genes that could carry schizophrenia, but in the main region of chromosome 22q11. -Schizophrenia has no exsact cause though there are ideas to how schizophrenia could have been inherited.
Twins are more likely to develop schizophrenia because they share the same genes. This is true even if they were raised spearly, but if there were non-identical twins than not as a high chance because the have different genes. To the general population developing schizophrenia is a one in a hundredth of a chance. Scientist have discovered that people with schizophrenia have a faint different brain structures. Schizophrenia is a inherited disorder, there is no single gene that carries schizophrenia, but chromosome 22q11 has a larger percentage of carrying schizophrenia. What is the relationship between schizophrenia and dementia?
How could you see and/or test a brain that had schizophrenia compared to a non-schizophrenic brain? How is the brain affected by schizophrenia? -The relationship between schizophrenia and dementia is very different, but also similar in many ways. For one schizophrenia is a lifelong disease and can shows up at a young age, but it is most common for dementia to appear at a older age. Scientist have researched how schizophrenia and dementia are alike and different, some research has been done at Oxford University about how dementia and schizophrenia might be linked and the research had been done the conclusion was made that schizophrenia and dementia are linked in the way that the two effect the same regions of the brain. – Schizophrenia does affect the brain and how the brain works, one question may be is what area of the brain does schizophrenia affect, but the answer to that question is not just one area but three and two are in the frontal lobes and then one small area of the hippocampus, known as the CA1.
There are differences between a schizophrenic brain and a non-schizophrenic brain, but there are key differences like certain brain chemicals that control thinking, behavior, emotions and glitches in their genes that may cause brain development. Schizophrenia affects the brain in the way that it changes the behavioral and emotional state of a person also the brain may have less “Gray matter”-The part of the brain that contains nerve cells. – The different between schizophrenia and dementia are that the symptoms of each the symptoms of schizophrenia is hallucinations or disordered thinking and speech but with dementia the symptoms are loss of memories or personality or behavioral changes. Schizophrenia affects the brain in the way that when a schizophrenic has their first episode the schizophrenic seems to have less brain tissue and there may even be outward signs of the mental illness. Some treatments may be using a counselor or therapist along with different long-term treatments. 4. How could you predict the outcome if something traumatic were to happen to a schizophrenic brain? What are the causes and treatments of schizophrenia? -Scientist have found that childhood trauma is linked to schizophrenia.
Though not much research has been done on a already schizophrenic brain experiencing trauma. The resarech that has be done has shown that something traumatic were to happen to a schizophrenic brain it could cause a relapse and have negative effects in the future. -When searching up schizophrenia’s causes and treatments there are a lot of thing that may show up, but there is no real or certain cause of schizophrenia, but scientist do know that schizophrenia is past down through families ( parent, brother, or sister).
There are five main theories of causes of schizophrenia and those are environmental, childhood trauma, Genetic, physical, and Physiological but these are just theories to cause of schizophrenia or factors that might go into the cause of schizophrenia. Some treatments that could help a schizophrenic are mostly consistent of therapies like group therapy or physical therapy or therapy along with different medications that could help with sustaining routines and keeping the mind settled. – Childhood trauma or head injuries could lead to schizophrenia, this may be because the patient may have had a head injury may have already had were developing symptoms of schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia tends to run in families and schizophrenia has even higher tendency to run between two identical twins. There are many different Inferences about the causes of schizophrenia but there is no certain or exact cause of schizophrenia so there are only predictions of what could have started schizophrenia in a bloodline or family. 5. Which would be the answer to can schizophrenia affect your physical health?

Poor physical health has also been seen with people that have schizophrenia and can increase risk for other illnesses. Also a person with schizophrenia or any mental illness is usual to see them fogo exercise and have a poor diet. – The use of physical fitness can help a schizophrenic by giving them with coping with their mental disorder. A schizophrenic can also benefit from the use of physical fitness because like the general population they do need to have physical fitness in their lives. A schizophrenic has a higher Of physical illness and this could lead to premature death and this means the schizophrenic could die ten to fifteen years earlier than the average person.
