Schizophrenia
(PS010)
Introduction
Schizophrenia is a chronic
and disabling brain disease. People with schizophrenia often suffer terrifying
episodes of hearing internal voices not heard by others, or believing that
other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting
to harm them. These symptoms may leave them fearful and withdrawn. Their
speech and behavior can be so disorganized that they may be incomprehensible
or frightening to others.
Some people have only one episode; others have many episodes during a lifetime,
but lead relatively normal lives during the interim periods. However, the
individual with "chronic" schizophrenia, or a continuous or recurring
pattern of illness, often does not fully recover normal functioning and
typically requires long-term treatment, generally including medication,
to control the symptoms. Available treatments can relieve many symptoms,
but most people with schizophrenia continue to suffer some symptoms throughout
their lives.
Approximately 1 percent of the population develops schizophrenia during
their lifetime - more than 2 million Americans suffer from the illness
in a given year.
There is now significan't emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia.
The initial episode often requires hospitalization. Medications and other
treatments for schizophrenia can help reduce and control the distressing
symptoms of the illness.
