Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can’t explain his to us, and we can’t explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication … and there is the real illness.” — Philip K. Dick

But there was a small window over the door which could not be locked. One night I woke up to see him slithering through the tiny aperture and jumping nimbly to the floor.

FAQs: World Schizophrenia Day
What is World Schizophrenia Day and when is it celebrated?
World Schizophrenia Day is celebrated every year on 24 May to raise awareness about Schizophrenia
What is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a type of mental illness in which a person cannot differentiate what is real from what is imagined and loses touch with reality.
“People with schizophrenia may hear voices or noises; become very paranoid; believe they have unusual powers; think others control their thoughts, or vice-versa; or believe world events are connected to them” —
Minnie Bowers-Smith, MD.
Who gets Schizophrenia?
Anyone can get schizophrenia regardless of their age, gender, race and culture.
In men, psychotic symptoms often begin in the teens or 20s. In women, psychotic symptoms often begin in the 20s and 30s.
What are the types of Schizophrenia and how do they affect you?
Most common types of Schizophrenia and their symptoms are as follows.
1) Paranoid Schizophrenia:
- False beliefs about being persecuted or being punished by someone
- Believing that he / she has been specially chosen to complete a secret mission
- Suspicion and distrust
- Little pleasure in life
2) Catatonic Schizophrenia:
- The person shuts down emotionally, mentally and physically.
- Shows no facial expression and may stand still for long periods of time
- There is no drive to eat, drink or urinate.
3) Undifferentiated Schizophrenia:
- This type of schizophrenia has very vague symptoms
- People stop talking or express themselves much.
- They can be confused and paranoid
- The person may not bother to change clothes or take a shower.
4) Disorganized or Hebephrenic Schizophrenia:
- Unusual speech patterns
- Emotions that don’t fit the situation
- Incongruent facial reactions
- Difficulty performing daily activities
5) Schizoaffective Disorder:
- Delusional thinking
- Hearing voices
- Seeing visions or shadows
- Fixed, false beliefs
- Mood disorders like depression, mania and/or hypomania
What causes Schizophrenia?
The exact cause of schizophrenia is still unknown. But following factors may trigger the chances of having Schizophrenia in any person.
1) Heredity:
There is a greater chance of having Schizophrenia if your parents or other blood relatives have it already. It could be in your Genes.
2) Brain abnormality:
Irregular flow / defect in certain chemicals in the brain or an abnormal brain structure may affect thinking and behaviour and eventually lead to schizophrenia.
3) Hormonal and physical changes:
Schizophrenia more often surfaces when the body is having hormonal and physical changes. For example: During the teen and young adult years.
4) Other factors that may trigger Schizophrenia:
- Viral infections
- Exposure to toxins like alcohol and drugs
- Highly stressful situations
Most people with schizophrenia are not violent. In fact, they prefer to withdraw and be left alone.
They may show some dangerous or violent behaviours, as a result of their psychosis and the fear that they’re being threatened in some way by their surroundings. Drug or alcohol use can make it worse.
Can Schizophrenia be cured?
Unfortunately, there is no complete cure for schizophrenia. But it could be controlled with medication and behavioural therapy, especially if diagnosed early and treated continuously.
Most of the times,
- People refuse to get help as they simply don’t believe that anything is wrong with them.
- Many people don’t seek help on their own, for cultural reasons or due to lack resources.
Without ongoing care, people with schizophrenia can be hospitalized multiple times, lose jobs and fall out of touch with their families.
They can be a danger to themselves. Suicide is the top cause of premature death among people with schizophrenia.
