Schizophrenia: Causes and Theological Classifications
Abstract Over the past four decades researchers have made significant steps in understanding Schizophrenia. The focus of this paper is on the personal traits, symptoms, and treatments of this mysterious mental disorder. Some areas of development have been in the biological, psychological, and medical advances. While trying to establish a basic overview of the adjustments in the psychological world, careful consideration has been given to avoid any bias or judgmental ideas throughout the research process. An attempt to proclaim achievements and developments while remaining respectful in helping those who deal with these symptomatic expressions everyday is the ultimate and obvious goal. Current therapies (including medicines) provide control rather than cure. Medicines, along with psychological and social supports have proven to be quite successful in treating the advancements of schizophrenia. A closer look will reveal just a few of these accomplishments.
Introduction The DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is widely used by many countries as a category system for mental disorders. DSM is currently looking at ways to address several key issues concerning mental disorders such as schizophrenia. The DSM Checklist refers to schizophrenia as having, (1.) At least two of the following symptoms, each present for a significant portion of time
