Schizophrenia
There are a bunch of diseases that I never even knew excited when I was back in my home country like sexual disorder, bulimia or schizophrenia. People in my country have those diseases or disorder but they get misunderstood. The disorder that I choose to do research about is Schizophrenia because it is one of the disorders that do not get treated in my home country; I don’t even think people know about it.
Schizophrenia is a serious and disruptive mental illness that occurs in all cultures and affects about 1 in 100 people worldwide. Although the term is sometimes used mistakenly to refer to split personality, schizophrenia is actually an impairment of a person's sense of reality that leads to irrational behaviour and disturbed emotional problems. People with Schizophrenia may hear voices, it makes it hard for people that have to tell the difference between reality and imagination, think clearly, have normal emotional responses and acting normal in social situations. This may contribute to their bizarre behaviour. In addition, they are usually unable to function at work or maintain relationships with other people. (PubMed Health, 2013)
According to Mayo Clinic People with schizophrenia have positives symptoms which include delusions, hallucinations, problem at speaking and organizing their thoughts, and disorganized behaviors. People that have have the negative symptoms, lose interest in their everyday activities, show lack of emotion, reduced ability to plan or carry out activities, neglect of personal hygiene, and loss of motivation. Last but not least are cognitive symptoms which include problems with making sense of information, difficulty with paying attention and memory problems. I have had some of those symptoms lately especially the cognitive ones but I know that I am not schizophrenic . In my home country people do not really believe in science, we are not that developed scientifically . Whenever someone is sick, they always connect it to something
