The pace of life and the pressure of work put us in a stage of psychological danger, and the incidence of various mental illnesses is also increasing, but how many people really understand schizophrenia? Do you understand? Take a look
Someone once said that the 21st century is an era of "the advent of mental illness." From this we can see the degree of harm that mental illness has done to modern people. The most serious type of mental illness is schizophrenia. Don't think that schizophrenia is far away from us. In fact, each of us may have mild symptoms of schizophrenia, but the symptoms are not obvious, or the mental excess is more serious, which will be eliminated later. And those stubborn disease factors will bring harm to themselves and those around them...
1. Paranoid schizophrenia is the most common type of schizophrenia. The onset is generally slower and the age of onset is later than that of other types. Its clinical manifestations are mainly delusions and hallucinations, but delusions are mainly delusional, and these symptoms are also the main aspects of psychotic symptoms. Delusions are primary delusions that mainly include delusions of relationship, persecution, paranoia, jealousy, and influence. These delusions are usually loosely structured and absurd in content. For example, when there is a delusional relationship, the patient always feels that everything that happens around him is directed at himself and related to himself: the comments of others are the evaluation of his distrust, and the voices in the throats of others convey a message that is unfavorable to them. Information, the eyes of others despising oneself, and so on.
Hallucinations can occur before, after, or at the same time as delusional formation, with adverse verbal hallucinations being the most common. In addition, hallucinations, hallucinations, and olfactory hallucinations may occur. In addition to delusions and hallucinations, although it may also show emotional instability and abnormal behavior, it generally has less effect on emotional will and thinking, and behavior is not very exotic. This type of patient can only be intact and can take care of themselves in daily life. Although there is less remission of spontaneity, better results are usually obtained after treatment.
2. Juvenile schizophrenia is also common in schizophrenia. The onset is usually during puberty between the ages of 18 and 25 years. The urgency of onset is often related to the age of onset. The earlier the age of onset, the slower the onset of the disease and the worse the progression of the disease. high tide. Its clinical manifestations are mainly thought, mood and behavior disorders. Thinking disorders are manifested as messy speech, strange content, and difficult to understand; emotional disorders are manifested as mood swings, moodiness, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, and irritability and elusiveness; behavioral disorders are manifested as childish movements, stupidity, grimaces, playing with, swallowing flies, and smirking, which is difficult to accept. In addition, delusions and hallucinations may appear, but more one-sided and simple. Such patients have difficulty in self-care and have a poor prognosis.
3. The type of catatonic schizophrenia is relatively rare. The onset of the disease is relatively fast, and it is more common in young and middle-aged people. Its clinical manifestations are mainly tense stiffness. The patient does not eat, does not walk, does not speak, like clay sculptures or wood carvings, nor like wax figures. He can swing his limbs freely without resistance, but his consciousness remains clear. Sometimes it can suddenly change from a comatose state to an unstoppable state of excitement and restlessness. The behavior at this time is violent, often destructive and harmful. Severe cases may not stop, but resolve after a few hours, otherwise they will return to a coma. This type can be relieved on its own, and the therapeutic effect is also ideal.
4. Simple schizophrenia is relatively rare. The onset is insidious, the development is slow, and the onset is mostly in adolescence. Its clinical manifestations are mainly "negative symptoms" such as poor thinking, apathy or depression. Early symptoms may resemble neurasthenia, such as mental malaise, inattention, dizziness, insomnia, etc., and then gradually become withdrawn and lazy. Lack of interest, apathy and strange behavior make them unable to adapt to social needs, but there are no obvious "positive symptoms" such as delusions and hallucinations. When the condition is severe, mental weakness becomes more pronounced. The course of the disease is at least 2 years. This type of prognosis is poor.
5. In addition to the more obvious types of psychotic symptoms, there are several types of schizophrenia, such as untyped, residual and depressed types. Unclassified schizophrenia refers to the cross-mixing of multiple symptoms, which is difficult to classify into any of the above types of schizophrenia, and can also be mixed.
Residual schizophrenia refers to schizophrenia that rapidly transitions to a non-characteristic personality defect stage with "negative symptoms" as the main active period of "positive symptoms". This type of schizophrenia is also common in schizophrenia. Depressive schizophrenia refers to schizophrenia in the acute phase of schizophrenia that is accompanied by depressive symptoms in addition to "positive symptoms". For example, when other symptoms of schizophrenia are relieved, depressive symptoms gradually appear, which is called schizophrenia. Late depressive state.
