schizphrenia/thought disorder article revision 2

Part One The Preface

Schizophrenia is not a class or certification, but a disease which affects the brain and stimulates certain parts which would not be stimulated that way without the schziophrenic imbalance. A schizophrenic cannot hear voices but can only hear his own voice. Any unwanted voices are synapses of the brain which pass through at times of anxiousness or distress.

Paragraph Break

Dating back to the Roman times, there was no name nor a home for schizophrenics. Metaphorically, it is like a tree falling in the mountains with no one around. Did the tree accidentally fall?, or did they hide their disease from everyone else the so called 'everyone's fool' quote end quote evanescence.

Paragraph Break

To help explain this, let me use another metaphor. A car has an engine; that car is run by a clutch. But if the clutch suddenly comes loose or breaks, the whole "car" engine comes to a stop, leaving you to the last resort of pulling the emergency break. This causes further damage to the "car". The very last thing to do is start running to the gas station and to run like it's your life.

Paragraph break

People often associate this disorder with devils and exorcists. Even today the practice is common. Someone suffering from schizophrenia needs attention support help and care, and to not be isolated from others. Isolation brings on a form of retardism and can cause other problems. Pet therapy does not cure schizophrenia but can aide in the development of the child carrying this disease. The average onset of schizophrenia is between 16-20, most statistics point to early preteens. A schziophrenic deserves rights; his rights to his own house, life, and family, and his right to not be controlled by others. This burden will most likely remain on his shoulders for the rest of his life no matter what he does or what others do.

Paragraph break

From my personal experience, the disease can be controlled with proper medication and a proper pyschologist, daily treatment and a healthy relationship with your doctor. Ignorance guides the boat but only the captain can man the wheel and those that jump ship are either resuced by their shipmates or left to rot in their icy grave.

Paragraph break

Many schizophrenics can lose control of reality due to isolation. The only way out of isolation is to grasp onto something real around you. This refers more to pyschosis which I am getting ready to delve into.

Paragraph break

Associating pyschosis with schizophrenia is a very common practice for many reasons. One being they are both delusional; the schziophrenic has a mental illness where he can hear voices that he may think are not of his own but truly belong to himself. A person with pyschosis is simply so far detached from reality they require extreme medical care to bring them back into reality. The reality being we are all mortals that will eventually come to an end.

Paragraph break

Treatment out of the hospital or in the community can be a scary or even possible exciting thing to the pascient[color=red]. If people could learn to walk together, not ahead and not behind, like the arms of a knight who carries a sword with him at all times. He never leaves his men behind.

Paragraph break

No one need suffer in vain, as we are all equal human beings different in color and different in race. We may act and communicate differently from one another but is is possible for us to live on this planet together, as we have for thousands of years. This shows why a schizophrenic patient should be treated equally and have the right to choose his own medication; the law should never be above the people. If ever you find yourself in the fray with these people who try to drag you down, just smile and maybe something will grow out of it.

Paragrap break

After finishing high school, you need to grow a social network. If you are anti-social and may end up having anyone of these diseases, you will not survive due to human nature. (That is Murphy's law? Which law?) It is even important to a normal person's life to achieve some social networking. Tell no one that you are schizophrenic/mentally ill except your trusted guardian, support group family or best friend

Paragrah break

We should all be living our lives in harmony, faith and good will with no rules or restrictions to slow us down. In a home, the worst possible thing you can do is walk in and out of doors, going in and out of people's lives because if it shuts off there's no turning it back on. Winston Churchill showed us this with fireside chats, he would come into living rooms and be there every night with the American people, comforting them with his own words. If it's possible for people to find comfort in their own words than this dream I talk about could become a reality I believe.

Paragraph break

To do this as a man in life as a man of the world you need not know that the world is your oyster. But keep in mind 5% of the world is schziophrenic. In a room of 20, statistically speaking 1 in 20 is schizophrenic

Paragraph Break

the idea and concept of schizophrenia is very simple. Many people can have schizophrenia and still function, but with drugs it is possible to fall into a pyschosis which blurs the mind; drugs are one of the worst possible answers/activities for a schizophrenic. If it were up to me, I would replace it with a big cup of red wine and sitting at a table with good fellows.

Paragraph break

The trick is to remain calm and control your emotions. Keep control and try to relax and respect everyone and everything in this world for everyone needs a dream.

Paragraph break

Furthermore, pyschosis is also similiar to a paradox. Once you are in it it is extremely hard to get out. Mathematically or scientifically speaking, pyschosis and schizophrenia equal pyschotic schizophrenia (episodes) Luckily, people have a will to survive and people can go in and out of a pyschosis while being perfectly mentally fit. Take time and help others, but at the same time only the person himself can do anything for himself

There are some good ideas in that, but there is also a bit of sloppy thinking that distracts from those ideas. For example "Any unwanted voices are synapses of the brain which pass through at times of anxiousness or distress. " WTF is that supposed to mean?
Synapse is a good word, it sounds nice. but are you using the word correctly or carelessly?

Some of your references are not clear, such as "To do this as a man in life with knowledge and philosophies of the world you need not know that the world is your oyster. " Why is it that a person need not know that?

Overall the work is okay, even fairly well organized. Strongest are your references to one's own responsibilities in one's illness.

a tiny gap between the ends of nerve fibers across which nerve impulses pass from one neuron to another; at the synapse, an impulse causes the ...

causes the unknown. The gap is what your guessing people are saying. The philosophies should be changes to a common quote how many miles must a man walk till he's a man, the man's world is an oyster end of story.

Whoa. You are much smarter than I thought.

The synapse reference is excellent, except that it is worded so unclearly. It was hard to understand until you explained it.

You raise the possibility (in my murky mind) that a major part of the beginning of schizophrenia may be the poor communication skills of people. Maybe a big cup of red wine and sitting at... hey wtf?
