On the everyday slang of pathological jealousycalled paranoids, and incomprehensible people - schizophrenics. Although these are serious diagnoses, which can only be supplied by a psychiatrist. And sometimes the doctor has to diagnose "paranoid schizophrenia." In general, this subspecies of the disease is so different from others that some experts doubt whether this variety can be considered proper schizophrenia.
What is the difference between the disease "paranoidschizophrenia "from other forms? The fact that the patient's thinking in this form remains intact is, of course, biased and rigid, but such people have a high intelligence factor, and it does not decline with the next attack of the disease, as happens with "ordinary" schizophrenia. Also emotional manifestations remain bright, the disease does not smooth out the emotions of such a patient, does not immerse him in forced loneliness, people with a diagnosis of "paranoid schizophrenia" are prone to suspicion, but are generally sociable. Although the information received during communication is inclined to interpret one-sidedly, biased.
How does paranoid schizophrenia manifest itself?Symptoms can be common, characteristic not only for this disease, for example, anxiety, propensity to violence, anger, suicidal thoughts. But there are signs that clearly distinguish the ill - it's nonsense and hallucinations.
Brad, as a rule, is that the patientthinks that someone wants to harm him. "Guilty" can be the government, family members or masons. Now do you understand where the legends of conspiracy theories grow? So when you tell stories about global conspiracies, you can twist your finger at your temple. Mentally. Because paranoid schizophrenics can suspect you of anything, and they are prone to violence.
The most common ideas are thatthe government monitors every step of the patient and there will be hardly any ceremony - the person is simply liquidated. In fact, it is not so easy to distinguish real prosecutions from fictitious ones, because the logic keeps the logic. And it's hard for a healthy person to figure out who is right. For example, an opposition director in the hospital claims that he was imprisoned for "bad behavior." It's not easy to understand the situation, because political repression with the use of psychiatrists was widely practiced in the Soviet Union.
Much more clearly the second characteristic feature -hallucinations. They are usually "voices" audible only by patients. The latter are usually unpleasant, sometimes they comment on the patient's behavior, sometimes they talk with each other. Often severely denounced the various shortcomings of the patient. Voices can also command. Including ordering to cause harm to yourself or others. Therefore, such patients can be considered, under certain conditions, even dangerous. The problem is that the diseased can not distinguish hallucinations from reality, especially if they are not only auditory, but also visual.
At the beginning of the illness, thinking is safe, but withtime it becomes torn, the disease comes into its own. Although this process is slower than with other forms. Patients with the diagnosis of "paranoid schizophrenia" often do not violate the processes of concentration, remains at a good level of attention.
Many patients are quite capable of continuing their professional activities, especially if it is not connected with close interaction between people. For example, accounting or programming.
Do not let the diagnosis become between you andpeople. And it does not matter, the patient is you, the sick friend or his relative. Remember - you can not scatter diagnoses if you are not a psychiatrist with extensive experience. And psychiatrists themselves usually do not make decisions alone. Be careful and take care of yourself and your loved ones.
