2. What is schizophrenia? Humanity’s most dreaded disorders
Long-term mental disorder involving a breakdown in thought, emotion and behavior which then leads to faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings.
Withdrawal from reality and personal relationships into delusions
means “split mind”
Affects everyone- both women and men.
With men, it strikes earlier, more severely, slightly more often than women.
Humanity’s most dreaded disorders
1 in 100 people will develop schizophrenia
3 in West Hall upstairs building
30 in this entire school (only students)

3. Subtypes of Schizophrenia
Paranoid: preoccupation with delusions or hallucination, often with themes or persecution
Disorganized: disorganized speech or behavior, or flat or inappropriate emotion
Catatonic: immobility (or excessive, purposeless movement), extreme negativism, and/or parrot like repeating of another’s speech or movements
Undifferentiated: impaired speech, emotions and behavior
Residual: withdrawal, after hallucinations and delusions have disappeared

4. Paranoid schizophrenia Symptoms
Auditory hallucinations or where you here sounds that nobody else can hear, usually voices.
Delusions or that you feel you and or loved ones are constantly threatened to harm.
None of the following is prominent: disorganized speech, catatonic behavior, flat/inappropriate affect
With paranoid schizophrenia you are less likely to be troubled with mood, concentration, and attention problems

5. Paranoid schizophrenia Causes
Brain Disorders
Genetics
Environmental Factors

6. Disorganized Schizophrenia Symptoms
Disorganized thinking
causes illogical nonsensical thought patters, noticeable in the way the affected person talks, they cant stay on track in a conversation, jumps from one unrelated idea to another so its impossible to understand what they're trying to say
Disorganized behavior
causes severe problems in ability to function in daily life such as bathing, dressing or making meals. Common issues include confronting others without a logical reason, wearing many layers of clothing on a hot day and having a very
flat/inappropriate affect
lack emotional expression, has a blank face and doesn't make eye contact or use common body language. Emotions inappropriate to the situation are also common such as acting funny or laughing loudly at a serious event.

7. Disorganized Schizophrenia
Causes:
genetics and environment both play a role
problems with certain neurotransmitters may contribute
abnormality of the fifth chromosome
Treatment:
hospitalization is often necessary
allows initiation of medication under close supervision
once the most troubling symptoms are controlled by medication, the person often does not require hospitalization 

8. Catatonic Symptoms
Physical immobility: unable to move or speak, or you may stare, hold your body in a rigid position and seem to be unaware of your surroundings, waxy flexibility
Excessive mobility: move in an excited manner that appears to have no purpose
Extreme resistance: may not respond to instructions, may resist any attempt to be moved or may not speak at all.
Peculiar movements: inappropriate or unusual postures, grimace for long periods or use strange mannerisms. You may also mechanically repeat certain behaviors
Mimicking speech or movement: repeatedly say a word just spoken by someone else

9. Catatonic Schizophrenia Causes
Genetics / Environment
Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder, and medical conditions that affect the central nervous system
Problems with certain naturally occurring brain chemicals called neurotransmitters

10. Undifferentiated Schizophrenia Symptoms
Psychotic symptoms are present, but the criteria for paranoid, disorganized, or catatonic types have not been met.
Symptoms are not sufficiently formed or specific enough to classify into paranoid, catatonic, or disorganized schizophrenia.
The symptoms can fluctuate and change in intensity at different points in time.
This is why it is difficult to specifically classify this type of schizophrenia.
Other Relevant Information: Diagnosis for this type of schizophrenia could also describe the mixed clinical syndrome.

11. Undifferentiated Schizophrenia Causes
Genetics
People with undifferentiated schizophrenia are 10x more likely to have relatives with undifferentiated schizophrenia.
Migration
Separation from family and the inability to adjust to new places may cause undifferentiated schizophrenia.
Virus
Damage to the hippocampus can cause undifferentiated schizophrenia because it attacks the ability to process senses.
Examples: Herpes Simplex, Endogenous Retroviruses.

12. Residual Schizophrenia Symptoms
Symptoms of other Schizophrenia types are present, but in low intensity.
Withdrawal after hallucinations and delusions have disappeared.
Other Relevant Information: People with this schizophrenia may be easily irritated, disinterested, and may stop interacting with people.
