Is schizophrenia treated?

The term schizophrenia was introduced into psychiatry at the beginning of the 20th century, previously the disease was called premature dementia. Like the inconsistencies in names, and the uncertainty in symptoms and treatment still make schizophrenia a truly mysterious ailment.

Symptoms

How many doctors you argue, whether schizophrenia is treated, so many different answers you will get. Psychiatrists "joke" that the diagnosis of schizophrenia can be put almost to any person, and you will agree with this, only glancing at the ambiguity of the symptoms:

To emphasize this ambiguity and inconclusive diagnosis, doctors usually talk about a complex of schizophrenic disorders, and not about schizophrenia itself.

Method of treatment

Treated schizophrenia is also ambiguous. Some specialists prefer hospitalization and medication. Once, mentally ill people, including schizophrenics, tried to treat LSD, but this experiment did not show any success.

Other doctors believe that the best way, how to treat schizophrenia, is to keep the house, among the native walls and the warmth of relatives and friends. The cause of any psychological disorder should be sought in the patient's relationship with the world, in trauma, resentment and stress. Perhaps it makes sense to treat this ailment among loving people (if there are any), but, of course, combine this with a visit to the therapist.

Folk remedies

In one, doctors agree - to deal with the problem of how to treat schizophrenia , it is necessary in the early stages of the disease. Statistics show that those who turned to the doctor with barely conceived suspicions of schizophrenia, in 80% of cases, a really complete cure was awaited.

But people's means, conspiracies, rituals, herbs and root crops can not bring any benefit to the sick. Some herbs have a sedative effect, like antidepressants, but this remedy can be effective at best in case of depression, but not a complicated, completely unexplained disease like schizophrenia. Therefore, it is too easy to pin hopes on ways how to treat schizophrenia with folk remedies.

Most people live in stereotypes about schizophrenic disorders. Statistics show that 49% of Swiss people think that when schizophrenia can live a normal life and do their job at an unchanged level, 41% consider this disease incurable. Both are wrong, both. Everything depends on the specific case and degree of the disease. The more prolonged the disease, the stronger the brain gets used to live in a world of complexes and unreality. Accordingly, the more complex will be the process of awakening consciousness.
