Symptoms Of Schizophreni Video Analysis
Symptoms of schizophrenia are disorganized thinking, disturbed perception, and inappropriate emotions and action as it said in chapter 14. In the video both girls show symptoms of this specific nature. For the disorganized thinking category the girl Rebecca says on the video at 9:16 she wishes she could kill everyone so she could have the whole world to herself. At 8:30 in the video an example of disturbed perception would be when Rebecca says she sees a man near her at all times or when Jani says at 0:57 in the video says she sees 24 hours floating by. Inappropriate emotion is another symptom, an example would be when Rebecca is crying and yelling in the car which is shown at in the video at 0:47. Lastly, inappropriate action would be when
Jani runs after her brother Body and tries to hit him which is shown at 4:54 in the video.
My personal thoughts on schizophrenia would be it is unusual, scary and difficult to grasp. Knowing that someone especially your child sees and hears things that are not there must be one of the hardest things to ever have to deal with. When it comes to a family setting having a difficult child always makes things difficult let alone a child with mental illness such as schizophrenia. Going anywhere would be a pain and with mental ill children some families might not want anything to do with him/her. From what it may do for the imitate family would be strife all the time there would be constant anger and distress. There would be no getting away from it.
