Second: Symptoms of confusion and confusion:
It is a group of symptoms that seem on an individual who suffers from
schizophrenia, and reflects and explains the extent of this particular person's
inability to control his mind, think clearly and comprehensively, and the ability to
make sound decisions in his life.
These symptoms are:
Topics change during the conversation rapidly, moving from one idea to another,
without being able to talk what he wants to say during the conversation.
During the conversation, he issues some illogical sentences, that are made up of
his imagination, and are utterly removed from the context of the conversation, or
in the appropriate sense of meaningless, which makes others lose the ability to
communicate with him, and his inability to communicate his thoughts and
feelings to others.
11. ALPINE SKI HOUSE 11
As a result of the confusion that fills the mind of a schizophrenic affected person,
he's unable to make decisions that represent his life, and this is one of the most
common symptoms of schizophrenia.
The affected person writes down some useless things, as they're dispersed, and
unconnected within the topics.
A schizophrenic affected person makes some meaningless actions or gestures,
reminiscent of ascending and descending some stairs without realizing it, or
repeating some words that he acquired from some individuals who have been in
contact with him recently until it becomes his "imperative".
One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is that a person tends to forget certain
things, and his ability to remember is weak, and we could discover that he loses
some valuable things at times.

Negative signs aren't intended as dangerous signs, however rather that they are
difficult to notice with the naked eye.

Where he suffers from inactivity in activity and movement, and the inability to
accomplish his work by himself.

He always suffers from a lack of motivation, and an unwillingness to do renewed
work, which leads to more activity and vitality.

This is because of his lack of renewal of his life, his lack of feeling of the pleasures
of life, the hallucinations that come to him, and the delusions that bring him
within a certain range.
4. Get used to some bad health habits:
We find a schizophrenic affected person, as a result of his separation from reality
and immersion in his private world, is neglecting his bodily health, and he
doesn't take care of himself in terms of general appearance and personal
hygiene, and he's expected to suffer from some diseases, ulcers, and other
diseases.

6. Moods:
An affected person with schizophrenia suffers from a fluctuating mood.
Suddenly, we discover that he turns from excessive unhappiness to
pleasure, and vice versa, and it's difficult to understand his emotions or
determine his motives and feelings.
5. Problems with job efficiency:
One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is that an individual suffers from a
group of functional disorders that hinder him from carrying out his work,
whether he's a student, or he was working in one of the regular jobs, which
exposes him to losing his career and not being accepted in some other jobs.

One of the commonest signs of schizophrenia, as we discover that an individual
refuses to take part in social affairs, withdraws from family life and friends, as well

his withdrawal from society in general.

impaired thinking, the place speech is illogical and volatile in thoughts, and
symptoms are the same in all sufferers but differ in their severity, and the first of
these symptoms is called the "negative" symptoms, and it begins with isolation,
which turns into a major part Of his life, lack of attention to personal hygiene, his
hair, his general appearance, and this is different from a depressive disorder.

An individual with schizophrenia is exposed to impaired thinking, as a
result of delusions and predispositions, and suspicion upon entering a
place that it's not secure, or that I will leave work, or that someone will
harm me, and the schizophrenic particular person is subject to indicators
of doubt, and his taking of the conspiracy a lifestyle in his way of thinking,
and that Everyone is against him, so is the sign, which is the feeling that
those around me are treating me as an unloved particular person, and so
they gesture to me in every situation I encounter, and that I'm an
unwanted person.
