2.  Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a breakdown
of thought processes and by a deficit of typical
emotional responses.[1] Common symptoms include auditory
hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and
thinking, and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational
dysfunction. The onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, with
a global lifetime prevalence of about 0.3–0.7%.[2] Diagnosis is based on
observed behavior and the patient's reported experiences.

5.  SYMPTOMS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA
 There are two major problems with the symptoms of schizophrenia. The is that the symptoms are
largely subjective, that is, only the patient's experience, which can not be verified. The second is
that schizophrenia is a disease with many different symptoms, but none is specific to it, but may
also be present in other mental disorders. Currently symptoms are divided into two major groups:
 The positive abnormal manifestations consist of those who experience or do patients, such as seeing
things that are not there (hallucinations) or think that things happen that are not true (delusions).
 The negatives consist of the expressions that suggest that the subject is losing ability to think, feel
or do things normally. For example, stop talking fluently, having interest in things or people, for
getting up every day to work, etc.. It is customary, with the passage of time, many of the symptoms
resolve. However, they usually get some sequels as abandonment of self-care, coldness towards
others, indifference or disinterest in everything.
 The most characteristic symptoms of the disease are:
 Delusions: misconceptions that the patient is convinced. For example, "believe that everyone is
against him or trying to hurt you."
 Hallucinations perceive something that does not exist. For example, hearing voices (insult him or
talk about him), or see objects or faces that are not.
 Thought disorder: the patient's language becomes incomprehensible and disrupts the flow.
 Altered sensation over himself will feel that your body is changing, he sees himself as weird.
Patients may say that they are changed to look in the mirror. The boundaries between self and other
are not clear. Thus, they may believe that others may know what you think or conversely, believe
guess what others think.
 Impairment of emotions: the emotions becomes poorer. You can get to the absence of feelings. The
patients are expressionless and behave coldly toward others.
 Isolation patients withdraw into themselves and in their inner world. This symptom is called
autism. It occurs because the patient is locked in his room and avoids the company of others.

6.  TREATMENTS
 At present it is mainly schizophrenia with certain drugs, called neuroleptics or
antipsychotics. There are two different types of antipsychotics:
 The classics: chlorpromazine, haloperidol or thioridazine.
 Atypical neuroleptics: clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, ziprasidone, or quetiapine
 Both groups have in common the ability to correct imbalances of neurotransmitters,
especially dopamine and alleviate positive symptoms. However, atypical neuroleptics
have special ability to get the neurotransmitter serotonin imbalance. To this has been
associated with the effectiveness of this type of neuroleptics on negative symptoms.
Atypical neuroleptics have the added advantage of producing fewer side effects.

7.  In very specific cases such as the poor response to drug treatment, with serious
risk of suicide or aggression towards others, in the catatonic subtype of
schizophrenia may be indicated electroshock treatment. Despite its bad press,
the current application conditions electroshock make it a safe procedure, and
very effective. Antipsychotic treatments have allowed, in most cases, patients
with schizophrenia can live in the community. It is extremely important to seize
this opportunity and combine drug treatment with a series of measures for the
patient to be busy and active.
