Schizophrenia 'is a cruel disease. that affects the brain and the patients develop symptoms of Delusions, hallucinate,altered sensations,an inability to sort and interpret incoming sensations, and an inability therefore to respond appropriately ,an erratic and totally unexpected behavior.
They hear voices and obey voices they imagine they hear and they may enter depression and high elation alternatively.
All of us have emotions , but they are at an acceptable level
In the case of Schizophrenic patients,their reaction is disproportionate to the sensations or events.
They become hysterical, though all hysteria does not translate into Schizophrenia.
We feel very low and highly elated at time.
We do not normally sink into despair in the former case nor do we go out of control in the latter.
In the case of the Schizophrenic patients, they either go into depression or Manic or hyper activity when they are happy or in agreeable conditions
this goes to such an extent, in the initial stages, we take these reactions to be normal.
But as it develops it becomes unbearable and one does not know how to deal with it.
The patients may harm themselves or others.
They may not know what they have been upto for they will return to normalcy in a jiffy to begin with and be normal.
But these will gaps between normal and abnormal behaviour will increase and slowly they will lose touch with Reality and be totally unconnected to what is happening around them.
