What causes people with Schizophrenia to look strange? |
I have worked in a pharmacy and have come accustomed to people who are mental. The ones with Schizophrenia are ones I especially notice for looking very strange. They look different each time they come in. Sometimes they look like a totally different person. Many times they look just "wierd" , very flat expression, their eyes looking very strange and not focused (like they are in a dream) . What is the cause of this? Do people who have M.S. have the same thing? It's because of people's perception of what is the "normal" way to act. there medicine They are insane. They should be euthanized, but instead society keeps them vegging on medication. It's very sad. maybe medications or they may be going through an episode of the disease Between their meds and the voices they hear in there head, they're never really "with" us. They're in their own little world. And what's even more odd, if you give a schizophrenic an IQ test, they're usually in the genius range. Their brain is so different that they can't fit in with society. The thing is that schizophrenia causes damage to many parts of the brain. The folks that have it truly have can have a hard time relating to others. The psychosis that goes along with it is caused by too much dopamine in parts of the brain. If it is in the seeing part of the brain (processes things we see) they will see things that aren't there in the same way they see things that are. They aren't imagining things....they truly see them. Same for hearing things. They may have odd fears such as touching things giving them germs or that people are trying to poison them. Lack of motivation is a major symptom. The dopamine is why they take a dopamine agonist. I suppose it would be hard to appear normal if you heard people having conversations all day and you couldn't tell which were real and which weren't. They found that in a quiet room the hearing part of the brain can be as active for a person with that illness as it would be for someone listening to music for a normal person. The dopamine is what tells our brain what is going on when our nerves are stimulated, so truly it does make sense when you think about the symptoms. The problem is that folks that are "mental" have a physical illness that happens to attack their brain. Same as someone with seizure disorder or a brain tumor. Because folks for years thought it was ability to cope or something there is a terrible stigma about it. Even depression affects a lot of brain function in that it slows it all down. They have found the reason that it takes an antidepressent med to work so long is that it isn't balancing chemicals as they always thought, it is actually growing new nerve receptors to work with those brain chemicals. All very interesting stuff and very, very sad. It could happen to anyone with the right genes and the right stressors to turn them on. |
