Psychotic Disorders: Avoid Drugs by donmayorgroup(m): 9:20pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
Another preventative measure is to avoid drugs that have been associated with development of the disorder, including cannabis, cocaine, and amphetamines. Psychotic disorders are severe mental disorders that cause abnormal thinking and perceptions. People with psychosis lose touch with reality. Two of the main symptoms are delusions and hallucinations. § Delusions are false beliefs, such as thinking that someone is plotting against you or that the TV is sending you secret messages. § Hallucinations are false perceptions, such as hearing, seeing, or feeling something that is not there or exists. The treatment or management depends on the cause of the psychosis. It might involve drugs (chemotherapy) to control symptoms and talk therapy (Psychotherapy). Hospitalization is an option for serious cases where a person might be dangerous to himself or others around him/ her. Some major psychotic disorders include: 1. Schizophrenia 2. Schizoaffective Disorder 3. Delusional Disorder 4. Chronic Hallucinatory psychosis This article focuses mainly on Schizophrenia. What many of you out there refer to as ‘madness’ SCHIZOPHRENIA Schizophrenia is a mental disorder often characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to recognize what is real. Common symptoms include · False beliefs · Unclear or confused thinking · Auditory hallucinations · Reduced social engagement; and, · Emotional expression and inactivity. Diagnosis is based on observed behavior and the person's reported experiences. Genetics and early environment, as well as psychological and social processes, appear to be important contributory factors. Some recreational and prescription drugs appear to cause or worsen symptoms . Schizophrenia does not imply a "split personality", or " multiple personality disorder"—a condition with which it is often confused in public perception. Rather, the term means a "splitting of mental functions", reflecting the presentation of the illness. The mainstay of treatment is antipsychotic medication, which primarily suppresses dopamine receptor activity. Counseling, job training and social rehabilitation are also important in treatment. In more serious cases—where there is risk to self or others— involuntary hospitalization may be necessary, although hospital stays are now shorter and less frequent than they once were.
