There is evidence that schizophrenia is very progressing nowadays. Whether you want it or not, over the world, more than one percent of the population suffers from this disease. And even if the disease is slowly progressing, it is very difficult to detect, since schizophrenia is very unusual. A person can feel calm and balanced, not show any signs of the disease, but at the same time, the disease will gradually develop in his body. Therefore, in order to be able to distinguish a normal person from suffering from this disease, you need to know the first signs of schizophrenia. Knowing them, you can detect the disease at the very beginning of its development.
Schizophrenia is a mental illness that can be characterized by a number of certain distinguishing features. Its main feature is a violation of the body, in particular emotions, motor skills and thinking. In most cases, this disease has a negative effect on a person, but there are also examples where, thanks to the influence of schizophrenia, a person achieved incredible results, for example, in creativity. But still, schizophrenia should be seen as a serious illness, and not a way to achieve results. Therefore, in order to detect this disease in humans, you need to know what to look for.
The first signs of schizophrenia are quite diverse, some of them are invisible to humans. But if you spend some time with a person who suffers from schizophrenia, then you will immediately notice a number of certain traits that are not inherent in an ordinary healthy person. The main symptom of schizophrenia is a deterioration in well-being, which is manifested in a decrease in working capacity, mental activity. A person's attitude towards people around him changes, he begins to respond more slowly to what is happening. The schizophrenic becomes selfish and evil, strange emotions appear in him: he reacts violently to one, and without emotions to the other. And in the subsequent development of the disease, a person practically ceases to show emotions, more and more he begins to think, reflect, leaving himself and not noticing others. The patient ceases to think about the future, plan further actions, complete apathy appears to everything, the main thing is the idea that nothing is possible in this life and nothing will work. Lack of facial expressions, weak speech are also the first signs of schizophrenia that are immediately visible. The patient begins to build sentences for a long time and cannot connect them into one speech construct. In addition, schizophrenics are completely indifferent to the hygiene of their bodies. Men stop shaving, and women lose their taste for fashion, ceases to dress beautifully and stylishly. These symptoms can be easily noticed and, knowing them, distinguish a normal person from schizophrenic.
Schizophrenia affects not only adults, but also children. It is sad to say this, but it can be very difficult to detect the disease in children. Schizophrenia in children can occur at the age of one year, and in the subsequent years of life to actively develop. What are the first signs of schizophrenia that indicate the possibility of this disease? Children hardly speak, cannot finish phrases. They often have hallucinations: sounds, rustles. They think that these are the voices of animals, people or monsters. The child raves, says absurd things, invents something and believes in it himself. In children with schizophrenia, all emotions are muffled. At a time when other children are having fun, the schizophrenic is standing aside and thinking about something, not reacting to what is happening around. It also seems to sick children that they are being manipulated, that they want to do harm.
Schizophrenia is one of the most difficult diseases in medicine. People suffer from it, because now there are no drugs that can effectively cope with this ailment. And for successful treatment, of course, it is important to determine the disease at its early stage.
