Is schizophrenia psychosis?
Technically no. The two are closely related but not the same thing. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder and the symptoms of schizophrenia fall into three broad categories: * Positive symptoms are unusual thoughts or perceptions, including hallucinations, delusions, thought disorder, and disorders of movement. ** Negative symptoms represent a loss or a decrease in the ability to initiate plans, speak, express emotion, or find pleasure in everyday life. These symptoms are harder to recognize as part of the disorder and can be mistaken for laziness or depression. ** Cognitive symptoms (or cognitive deficits) are problems with attention, certain types of memory, and the executive functions that allow us to plan and organize. Cognitive deficits can also be difficult to recognize as part of the disorder but are the most disabling in terms of leading a normal life. The terms positive and negative do not infer they are beneficial or not. Positive symptoms simply refer to symptoms people with the disorder exhibit that those without it do not. Negative symptoms refer to symptoms people with the disorder do not possess that those without generally do.Psychosis on the other hand is defined as a state in which reality testing is grossly impaired. Symptoms can include seeing, hearing, smelling, or tasting things that are not there; paranoia; and delusional thoughts.So schizophrenia is a chronic condition which may include episodes of psychosis over the course of the illness. However, one can still be schizophrenic and not currently psychotic, especially if they are being treated appropriately. Medications for treating schizophrenia are particularly good at treating psychosis, but have more mixed results in treating the negative and cognitive symptoms.Alternatively, one can be psychotic for a number of reasons which do not include schizophrenia, in conditions such as mania, depression and drug intoxication.
How to Recognize Symptoms of Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia symptoms vary from person to person. There are several main types of schizophrenia, and schizophrenia is often confused with other mental illneses, so there are a wide range of symptoms. There are three types of schizophrenia symptoms - cognitive, positive and negative. Cognitive symptoms affect thought processes, and are the worst ones to have, since they interfere with normal activities. These include lack of memory and understanding, and inability to pay attention. Positive symptoms connote distorted or excessive normal functions. These include hallucinations, delusions and disorganized thought, speech and behavior. Negative symptoms mean that normal function is absent or diminished. These include lack of interest, motivation and emotion, neglect of personal hygiene and social withdrawal. Paranoid-type schizophrenia is often characterized by hallucinations and delusions. People with this type of schizophrenia often behave normally otherwise, but can often be anxious and angry. Disorganized-type schizophrenia causes a lack of organization in everything from thought, speech and emotion to everyday activities, such as dressing, showering and cooking. People with this type of schizophrenia are difficult to understand and often express inappropriate emotions. Residual-type schizophrenia is where a person has had schizophrenia in the past but currently shows no symptoms. It could mean that the person is in remission, or conversely, about to have a full-blown episode. Catatonic-type schizophrenia is characterized by movement disturbances People with this type of schizophrenia may be completely immobile or move all over the place. Their vocal pattern is erratic; they may not say anything for a long period of time or may copy everything someone says or does. Undifferentiated-type schizophrenia involves symptoms from several categories, but not enough to distinguish it as any one type. Schizophrenia can often be confused with depression or bipolar disorder. It’s important to get professional help if someone you love has any change in behavior, especially since many with schizophrenia may harm themselves or others. By being able to identify signs and symptoms, and taking medications when scheduled, those with schizophrenia can go on to live happy and fulfilling lives.
What is the Definition of schizophrenic?
The term 'schizophrenic' refers to someone with schizophrenia, a severe thought disorder usually characterized by hallucinations (false sensations, like seeing or hearing things that aren't really there), delusions (false beliefs), disordered thinking, flat affect (no emotional reactions to stimuli), disordered or strange speech patterns and very disorganized/abnormal behavior. These symptoms have to have a severely disruptive effect on the person's home/work/social life to be truly considered schizophrenia. There are several types of schizophrenia, including paranoid schizophrenia (where the hallucinations/delusions are linked to a paranoid fear), catatonic schizophrenia (includes incidences of catatonic [motionless] stupors and extreme flexibility), hebephrenic schizophrenia (largely disordered thought and flat affect) and undifferentiated schizophrenia (symptoms don't fall into one of the other three types).A schizophrenic is a person that suffers from schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a thought disorder, where there is a disturbance in thought patterns and processes. People with schizophrenia usually have several of the following symptoms:- disconnected and confusing language- poor reasoning, memory and judgment- high level anxiety- eating and sleeping disorders- hallucinations or hearing and seeing things that only exist in the mind of the consumer- delusions or persistent false beliefs about something (i.e. that others are controlling their thoughts)- deterioration of appearance and personal hygiene -tendency to withdraw from others
