What are Positive and Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia changes how one thinks feels and acts. It affects different people differently. Its symptoms also keep on coming and going. The symptoms of schizophrenia appear gradually in an individual and they appear sporadic. People with the condition usually aren't aware that they have it until a doctor or counselor tells them. They won't even realize that something is seriously wrong. If you're concerned that you or someone you know is showing signs of schizophrenia, then you need to consult a doctor or a Rehabilitation centre in Pune & Mumbai, Jagruti Rehabilitation Centre, headed by Pune’s best psychiatrist Dr.Amar Shinde are the most renowned schizophrenia treatment centres.
A patient with schizophrenia can have positive symptoms or negative symptoms of schizophrenia. A patient with positive symptoms of schizophrenia begins to feel that ‘Things have Started Happening’ to him and include hallucinations, exaggerated ideas, perceptions or actions that show that a person can’t differentiate and tell between what’s real and what’s not. These people might get Hallucinations in which they hear, see, smell, or feel things no one else does. These people may also get delusions which are beliefs that seem strange to most people and are easy to prove wrong. The person affected might think someone is trying to control their brain through TVs or that someone is out there to harm them or they might believe they're someone else, like a famous actor or the prime minister, or that they have superpowers or that they have bizarre health problems like worms under their skin. These people often have trouble concentrating, confused thought processes, and disorganized speech and movement disorders.
People with Negative symptoms appear to ‘Withdraw Themselves From the World’ around them, take no interest in everyday social interactions and often appear emotionless and flat. They also struggle with the basics of daily life, like they may stop bathing or taking care of themselves.
