Schizophrenia is a persistent, severe mental illness that affects a person's thought process, behavior, emotional expression and their relationships, both personal and professional. Despite not being as prevalent as other complex mental illnesses, schizophrenia can be the most persistent and incapacitating. Schizophrenic patients frequently struggle to function well in relationships, the workplace, and academic settings. They can actually lose their sense of reality, feel afraid and withdraw.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

2. • Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, debilitating
mental illness characterized by disordered
thoughts, abnormal behaviors, and anti-social
behaviors. It is a psychotic disorder, meaning
the person with schizophrenia does not
identify with reality at times.
3. Who Is Affected?
• Schizophrenia affects about 1.1% of the world's
population
• 3.5 million Americans have schizophrenia
• Schizophrenia is most commonly diagnosed between
the ages of 16 to 25
• Schizophrenia can be hereditary (runs in families)
• It affects men 1.5 times more commonly than women
• Schizophrenia and its treatment has an enormous
effect on the economy, costing between $32.5-$65
billion each year
4. How Common Is Schizophrenia in Children?
• Schizophrenia in young children is rare. The
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
estimates only 1 in 40,000 children experience
the onset of schizophrenia symptoms before
the age of 13
5. Types of Schizophrenia
• There are five types of schizophrenia (discussed
in the following slides). They are categorized by
the types of symptoms the person exhibits when
they are assessed:
• Paranoid schizophrenia
• Disorganized schizophrenia
• Catatonic schizophrenia
• Undifferentiated schizophrenia
• Residual schizophrenia
6. Paranoid Schizophrenia
• Paranoid-type schizophrenia is distinguished by
paranoid behavior, including delusions and
auditory hallucinations. Paranoid behavior is
exhibited by feelings of persecution, of being
watched, or sometimes this behavior is
associated with a famous or noteworthy person a
celebrity or politician, or an entity such as a
corporation. People with paranoid-type
schizophrenia may display anger, anxiety, and
hostility. The person usually has relatively normal
intellectual functioning and expression of affect.
7. Disorganized Schizophrenia
• A person with disorganized-type schizophrenia
will exhibit behaviors that are disorganized or
speech that may be bizarre or difficult to
understand. They may display inappropriate
emotions or reactions that do not relate to the
situation at-hand. Daily activities such as
hygiene, eating, and working may be
disrupted or neglected by their disorganized
thought patterns.
8. Catatonic Schizophrenia
• Disturbances of movement mark catatonic-type
schizophrenia. People with this type of
schizophrenia may vary between extremes: they
may remain immobile or may move all over the
place. They may say nothing for hours, or they
may repeat everything you say or do. These
behaviors put these people with catatonic-type
schizophrenia at high risk because they are often
unable to take care of themselves or complete
daily activities.
9. Undifferentiated Schizophrenia
• Undifferentiated-type schizophrenia is a
classification used when a person exhibits
behaviors which fit into two or more of the
other types of schizophrenia, including
symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations,
disorganized speech or behavior, catatonic
behavior.
10. Residual Schizophrenia
• When a person has a past history of at least
one episode of schizophrenia, but the
currently has no symptoms (delusions,
hallucinations, disorganized speech or
behavior) they are considered to have
residual-type schizophrenia. The person may
be in complete remission, or may at some
point resume symptoms.
11. What Are Causes of Schizophrenia?
• Schizophrenia has multiple, intermingled
causes which may differ from person to
person, including:
• Genetics (runs in families)
• Environment
• Brain chemistry
• History of abuse or neglect
12. Is Schizophrenia Hereditary?
• Schizophrenia has a genetic component. While
schizophrenia occurs in only 1% of the general
population, it occurs in 10% of people with a
first-degree relative (parent, sibling) with the
disorder. The risk is highest if an identical twin
has schizophrenia. It is also more common in
people with a second-degree relative (aunts,
uncles, cousins, grandparents) with the
disorder.
13. Schizophrenia Symptoms
• Many people with schizophrenia do not appear ill.
However, many behavioral changes will cause the person to
seem 'off' as the disease progresses. Symptoms include:
• Social withdrawal
• Anxiety
• Delusions
• Hallucinations
• Paranoid feelings or feelings of persecution
• Loss of appetite or neglecting to eat
• Loss of hygiene
• Symptoms may also be grouped into categories, discussed
in the following slides.
14. Positive (More Overtly Psychotic) Symptoms
• The "positive," or overtly psychotic, symptoms
are symptoms not seen in healthy people,
include:
• Delusions
• Hallucinations
• Disorganized speech or behavior
• Dysfunctional thinking
• Catatonia or other movement disorders
15. Negative (Deficit) Symptoms
• "Negative" symptoms disrupt normal
emotions and behaviors and include:
• Social withdrawal
• "Flat affect," dull or monotonous speech, and
lack of facial expression
• Difficulty expressing emotions
• Lack of self-care
• Inability to feel pleasure (anhedonia)
16. Cognitive Symptoms
• Cognitive symptoms may be most difficult to
detect and these include:
• Inability to process information and make
decisions
• Difficulty focusing or paying attention
• Problems with memory or learning new tasks
17. Affective (or Mood) Symptoms
• Affective symptoms refer to those which affect
mood. Patients with schizophrenia often have
overlapping depression and may have suicidal
thoughts or behaviors.
18. How Is Schizophrenia Diagnosed?
• The diagnosis of schizophrenia is made both by ruling
out other medical disorders that can cause the
behavioral symptoms (exclusion), and by observation
of the presence of characteristic symptoms of the
disorder. The doctor will look for the presence of
delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech or
behavior, and/or negative symptoms, along with social
withdrawal and/or dysfunction at work or in daily
activities for at least six months.
• The doctor may use physical examination,
psychological evaluation, laboratory testing of blood,
and imaging scans to produce a complete picture of
the patient's condition.
19. How Is Schizophrenia Diagnosed? (Continued)
• Mental health screening and evaluation is an
important part of the diagnosis process for
schizophrenia. Many other mental illnesses
such as bipolar disorder, schizoaffective
disorder, anxiety disorders, severe depression,
and substance abuse may mimic symptoms of
schizophrenia. A doctor will perform an
assessment to rule out these other conditions.
20. Schizophrenia Treatment - Medications
• Antipsychotic medications are the first-line treatment for
many patients with schizophrenia. Medications are often
used in combination with other types of drugs to decrease
or control the symptoms associated with schizophrenia.
Some antipsychotic medications include:
• olanzapine (Zyprexa)
• risperidone (Risperdal)
• quetiapine (Seroquel)
• ziprasidone (Geodon)
• aripiprazole (Abilify)
• paliperidone (Invega)
21. Schizophrenia Treatment - Medications
(Continued)
• Mood swings and depression are common in patients with schizophrenia. In addition to
antipsychotics, other types of medications are used.
• Mood stabilizers include:
• lithium (Lithobid)
• divalproex (Depakote)
• carbamazepine (Tegretol)
• lamotrigine (Lamictal)
•
Antidepressants include:
• fluoxetine (Prozac)
• sertraline (Zoloft)
• paroxetine (Paxil)
• citalopram (Celexa)
• escitalopram (Lexapro)
• venlafaxine (Effexor)
• desvenlafaxine (Pristiq)
• duloxetine (Cymbalta)
• bupropion (Wellbutrin)
22. Schizophrenia Treatment - Psychosocial Interventions
• Family psycho-education: It is important to
include psychosocial interventions in the
treatment of schizophrenia. Including family
members to support patients decreases the
relapse rate of psychotic episodes and
improves the person's outcomes. Family
relationships are improved when everyone
knows how to support their loved one dealing
with schizophrenia.
23. Schizophrenia Treatment - Psychosocial Interventions
(Continued)
• Assertive community treatment (ACT):
Another form of psychosocial intervention
includes use of out-patient support groups.
Support teams including psychiatrists, nurses,
case managers, and other counselors, meet
regularly with the schizophrenic patient to
help reduce the need for hospitalization or a
decline in their mental status.
24. Schizophrenia Treatment - Psychosocial
Interventions (Continued)
• Substance abuse treatment: Many people
with schizophrenia (up to 50%) also have
substance abuse issues. These substance
abuse issues worsen the behavioral symptoms
of schizophrenia and need to be addressed for
better outcomes.
25. Schizophrenia Treatment - Psychosocial Interventions
(Continued)
• Social skills training: Patients with
schizophrenia may need to re-learn how to
appropriately interact in social situations. This
kind of psychosocial intervention involves
rehearsing or role-playing real-life situations
so the person is prepared when they occur.
This type of training can reduce drug use, and
improve relationships.
26. Schizophrenia Treatment - Psychosocial Interventions
(Continued)
• Supported employment: Many people with
schizophrenia have difficulty entering or re-
entering the work force due to their condition.
This type of psychosocial intervention helps
people with schizophrenia to construct
resumes, interview for jobs, and even
connects them with employers willing to hire
people with mental illness.
27. Schizophrenia Treatment - Psychosocial Interventions
(Continued)
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): This type of
intervention can help patients with schizophrenia
change disruptive or destructive thought
patterns, and enable them to function more
optimally. It can help patients "test" the reality of
their thoughts to identify hallucinations or
"voices" and ignore them. This type of therapy
may not work in actively psychotic patients, but it
can help others who may have residual symptoms
that medication does not alleviate.
28. Schizophrenia Treatment - Psychosocial
Interventions (Continued)
• Weight management: Many anti-psychotic
and psychiatric drugs cause weight gain as a
side effect. Maintaining a healthy weight,
eating a well-balanced diet, and exercising
regularly helps prevent or alleviate other
medical issues.
29. What Is the Prognosis for Schizophrenia?
• The prognosis for people with schizophrenia
can vary depending on the amount of support
and treatment the patients receives. Many
people with schizophrenia are able to function
well and lead normal lives. However, people
with schizophrenia have a higher death rate
and higher incidence of substance abuse.
When medications are taken regularly and the
family is supportive, patients can have better
outcomes.
