## What is Schizophrenia? In a country like India where the awareness about Schizophrenia is low, residents of vashi, navi mumbai who seek In proper treatment for Schizophrenia, the patient and his relative need to understand what it is. Schizophrenia is derived from “Schizo” – split and “phrene”- mind. It is a mental illness which belongs to the group of “Psychotic” disorders. Essentially, these disorders are characterised by difficulty in understanding reality, which leads to abnormal social behaviour. It usually affects young adults. It occurs in 1 percent of the population and affects persons irrespective of their socio-economic class. It is often times confused with “Split personality”; but this illness is very different from Schizophrenia. ## Causes of Schizophrenia The causes of Schizophrenia are multifold. Certain brain areas seem to be involved in its pathology. Of the many neurotransmitters (chemicals involved in transmitting signals in brain) studied, Dopamine seems to be a major neurotransmitter involved in its pathology. Many genetic studies also suggest a genetic component as a cause. First degree relatives of a patient suffering from Schizophrenia are more prone to developing the illness; the closer the person is genetically, the greater is the chance of developing the illness. Some research has also suggested the use of Cannabis as a probable cause. Other than biological, psycho-social factors also play an important role in the causation. ##Symptoms of schizophrenia The symptoms of Schizophrenia may vary widely from patient to patient. Some patients may have suspiciousness (delusions) against family members or even strangers; They may hear voices inaudible to others (hallucinations) that may converse with them or make comments on them; they may see images not visible to others; They may become aggressive or have sudden anger outbursts in response to these suspicions and voices/images. Some patients become very withdrawn and may not converse with anyone for days, may not take good self-care, may have staring spells for hours. Some may talk irrelevantly or incomprehensibly, muttering or talking to themselves. ## Diagnosis of schizophrenia For a complete diagnosis, it is important for us to take a complete history from close family members. Other than this, the mental state examination of the patient also is very important. In some cases, where there is confusion regarding diagnosis, multiple visits with the patient and relatives help. In some cases, psychological testing may be done to clear diagnostic confusion. In young adults especially, the presentation of this illness may vary and patient may have depressive or or obsessive-compulsive features to start with. As the illness evolves, the diagnosis may become clearer. We are proud to highlight that we have been able to help relative & Schizophrenic patient manage this condition and bring about a positive change in their life.

## Why to Visit / When To Visit Counsellor / Psychiatrist Usually, parents may show concern regarding the academic decline of the child, as it is of great importance in schooling years. Sometimes, parents may bring their children for consultation as they are advised by the teachers. Older students, may themselves show concern and may consult of their own accord. Since the schooling years are the foundation years of our educational life, it is best to seek consultation as soon as possible. To delay seeking consultation/ help may result in losing precious time and as such can adversely affect the outcome of therapy. ## Signs that your child has difficulty studying. 1) More often than not, parents may notice a decline in their child’s academic performance as compared to their child’s peers or even as compared to the child’s past performance. 2) Sometimes, teachers may inform parents regarding the academic decline. Some students, especially in the higher grades may themselves become concerned with their declining performance and may seek help or request parents to seek appropriate consultation for them. 3) Difficulties may range from overall academic performance decline, to difficulty in a single area like- reading, writing, math, or difficulty paying attention or understanding instructions given in class. 4) Many a times, children face social ostracism, being ridiculed by their peers, discriminated against by their teachers or compared unfairly by parents with their classmates. 5) Secondary to the academic difficulties, the child then, may develop behavioural issues or may “act out” in the form of aggressive behaviour, frequent fights with peers, disobedience towards authorities, etc. 6) Often, children may develop low self-esteem due to constant comparisons and expectations that they are unable to fulfill.
