Clinical Types Of Schizophrenia and What to Look Out for As Symptoms.
Last time out we looked at what Schizophrenia means and why it is prevalent today. There are different clinical types of schizophrenia, they include:
Paranoid schizophrenia
Hebephrenic schizophrenia
Catatonic schizophrenia
Residual schizophrenia
Undifferentiated schizophrenia
Simple schizophrenia
Post-schizophrenic depression
Every illness has a symptom or symptoms, schizophrenia isn't left out. What are the signs you need to know to confirm if someone has this illness? These are what we would be looking at. However, see a doctor make the correct diagnosis and not assume that these symptoms automatically means you are suffering from schizophrenia.
Affective flattening: This a broad term for symptoms like; poor eye contact, paucity of expressive gestures, unchanging facial expressions, lack of vocal inflexions.
Alogia: This means the individual has a shortage of speech, speech becomes incoherent, increased response latency
Physical anergia
Lack of persistence at work
Impaired grooming and hygiene
Few recreational interests
Impaired intimacy
Little sexual interest
Inattentiveness.
Hallucinations
Delusions
Bizarre clothing and appearance
Thought insertion and withdrawal
Aggressiveness
The pressure of speech, etc.
As serious as this mental illness can be, it can be treated. But like the maxim "prevention is better than cure", it is better not to allow this get to the almost irreparable stage before treatment. Some of the treatment technologies for schizophrenia include:
Somatic treatment
Pharmacological treatment
Electro-convulsive therapy
Miscellaneous treatments
Psychosocial treatment and rehabilitation– self-help organisations, family intervention, social skills training.
