Vignesh kumarPublished 5 months ago in EducationWhat is schizophrenia?
Even though schizophrenia was initially recognized over a century ago, its precise causes are still unknown. It is still one of the most stigmatized and misunderstood illnesses in existence today. Let's review what we do know, starting with the symptoms and moving on to causes and remedies. Since schizophrenia is regarded as a syndrome, it may include several related disorders with similar symptoms but different etiologies. Individuals with schizophrenia have somewhat varied symptoms, and it might be difficult to recognize the early warning signals, which include mild personality changes, agitation, or a slow invasion of strange thoughts. After psychosis sets in, usually in the late teens or early twenties for men and the late twenties or early thirties for women, patients are usually diagnosed. Delusions, hallucinations, and abnormal speech and behavior can all be present in a first psychotic episode. Positive symptoms are those that only show up in individuals with schizophrenia; the general population does not experience them. Contrary to popular belief, individuals with schizophrenia do not exhibit multiple personalities; rather, these symptoms point to a breakdown in cognitive processes rather than the emergence of a second personality. Negative symptoms of schizophrenia include diminished motivation, emotional expressiveness, and communication in those who have the disorder. Additionally, there are cognitive symptoms, such as trouble focusing, recalling details, and making choices. What then triggers psychosis to begin? It is likely the result of a confluence of hereditary and environmental risk factors rather than a single cause. Of all mental disorders, schizophrenia has some of the most robust genetic connections. While schizophrenia affects 1% of the population, offspring and siblings of those who have the disorder are ten times more likely to have it, and 40% of identical twins of those who have the disorder will also get it. Often, but not always to the point where therapy is necessary, close relatives of individuals with schizophrenia display tamed forms of the disorder's characteristics. We don't know which genes are involved or how many, but multiple genes most likely play a part. Certain medicines, like marijuana, can cause the onset of psychosis in extremely vulnerable individuals, and environmental variables such as early childhood exposure to specific viruses may enhance an individual's risk of developing schizophrenia. Not everyone is impacted in the same way by these circumstances. Very low genetic risk individuals will never develop schizophrenia from environmental risk factors; very high risk individuals may benefit from mild increased risk. Researchers have been able to track the brain signatures of schizophrenia by working backwards with the aid of antipsychotic medicines, which are used to treat the illness. Dopamine receptors are blocked by conventional antipsychotics. Positive symptoms, which are associated with an overabundance of dopamine in specific brain pathways, can be effectively reduced by them. However, negative symptoms of schizophrenia may worsen when taken with the same medications, and it has been discovered that negative symptoms may be related to low dopamine in other parts of the brain. It is unknown if the atrophy of brain tissue observed in certain individuals with schizophrenia is due to drug-induced signaling suppression or the disease itself. Thankfully, more recent antipsychotic generations try to address some of these problems by focusing on different neurotransmitters, such as serotonin in addition to dopamine. Since these medications alter transmission across the brain and body, they might produce additional adverse effects including weight gain. It is evident that no single transmitter system is the origin of all symptoms. Antipsychotics can be quite beneficial despite these side effects, especially when used in conjunction with other therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy. Even though it only offers temporary relief, electroconvulsive therapy is making a comeback as a successful treatment, particularly in cases when other therapies have failed.
