I am a college student doing an essay on
disorganized schizophrenia. I have never
met a person with this disorder. My
professor wants us to answer questions
like "how do ppl w/this disorder feel
about themselves, act in classrooms,"
etc... You don't find many answers to
these type of questions in websites.
Usually you just find the definition and
symptoms. If you know anyone with this
disorder, please write back some of their
habits, actions, etc...

I 've been an lvn x 15 years, & now,
my only son has just, recently ( 01 of 03
) been diagnosed with this most serious of
all mental ilnesses, schizophrenia .
Please, do emphasize the fact that they
should be refered to as people, with the
disorder, rather than, just simply, "
schizophrenics ", which sounds like they
are to be regarded as a problem, rather
than, another, human being . Typically,
they are withdrawn . Although, the
context in our society would have you
withdraw from them . These, people, are
typically, non - violent, except to,
themselves . And, in fact, 1 out of every
10, people with schizophrenia, completes
the act of suicide . So, they are
suicidal, rather than, homicidal . If
incarcerated, it is statistically, for
petty crimes, & or, vagrancy . Also,
an important fact, is that only 50% of
identical twins are schizophrenic, which
shows us that environment is a key factor
to the manifestation of schizophrenia .
And, if you want to ask your readers a
question at the end, I would ask them,
what society could do to reduce the risk
of schizophrenia, as this should, surely,
bring us closer than we are now, to doing
god 's work. God bless you ! And, your
work ! From someone who genuinely cares,
laura .

Hey, Preppy, Go to a Psychiatric Hospital Posted: 09-14-04 09:37am
You don't see this kind of ppl because
they are very rare and
usually they are hospitalized. If you
want to know their habits,
i can assure you that they enjoy a lot
panick attacks (because
of their distroyed hearts, lungs and
arteries), and they also
enjoy suffocating and fainting themselves
as well as being
fearfull of amputations.
So, if you are not accustomed with these
kind of behaviors
get lost.
please pay attention (at the end of the
description) at the so called
"predisposition" of this type of patients
to becoming "chain-smokers".
This is usually the bagaboo that is waived
in front of the naive people
when the doctors want to explain multiple
limb amputations when in
fact this is clearly a vascular disease
(generalized vascular disease).
The family history is explained by the
inheritance of the vascular genetic
efects that do not allow a normal
cardio-vascular development which in
turn triggers "endothelium dysfunction".
The ultimate prognosis of these patients
is extremely scary.
definition
disorganized schizophrenia is a type of
schizophrenia characterized by
disinhibited, agitated, and unorganized
behavior.
Overview, causes, & risk factors
as with all types of schizophrenia, the
cause is unknown. The onset of this
subtype of schizophrenia is usually in
late adolescence or early adulthood, below
age 25. A family history of depression or
psychosis increases the likelihood of
having the disease.
People with this form of schizophrenia are
more likely than others to develop
substance misuse problems. They are
particularly likely to become
chain-smokers.

It is possible that this is the new
psychiatric label for neurosis
or madness.

being rude. she was just asking a
question.
