Am i going to get schizophrenia and what are the signs towards it? |
My mother is 50 years old and i knew she was bi polar and tonight i found out she has schizophrenia too from a nurse at the hospital she was sent to for going crazy out of no where tonight. I am very differnt from her and i am 17 years old. My dad side of the family has no disorders. How likely am i to develop schizophrenia, what are the begining symptoms to see if i see signs now, and any ohter info. Sweetheart you would not recognize a sign if it run over you. as the sickness encroaches upon your mind it also removes rational thought. you will say to your self I am not crazy there is nothing wrong with me. all the crazy Sob's around me are nuts I an not. And Honey you will believe your self. self diagnosis is a very dangerous path you are wanting to take. There is no reason to assume you will become schizophrenic. It's not catching. The best thing you can do is pursue emotional health. Work with a therapist, read, and journal. Associate with healthy people. If you do all that, then if something does start to go wrong, a lot of people will help you identify it early and prevent you from becoming like your mother. As you said, you are different from her. You are already self aware and asking the questions that will keep you healthy. Keep it up. I'm a clinical psychologist. Don't worry too much, although there is some studies that show it may have some genetic properties, it does mean you will end up being schizophrenic. Your mums bi polar may have possibly triggered her schizophrenia, same as the long term use of drugs combined with alcohol is very often a trigger especially to those already predisposed. Symptoms include moodiness, isolating, inability to cope with everyday living, insomnia. But they are also symptoms of depression too. There is excellent medication now that helps people suffering with schizophrenia lead normal lives. I wish your mum all the best and hope she is feeling better soon. A child whose parent has schizophrenia has about a 10 percent chance. It has long been known that schizophrenia runs in families. People who have a close relative with schizophrenia are more likely to develop the disorder than are people who have no relatives with the illness. But this doesn't mean you will develop the illness. I worked in the mental health field for over twelve years at a mental institution and it was rare that I saw a family member have the same disorder that a client had. The outlook for people with schizophrenia has improved over the last 25 years. Although no totally effective therapy has yet been devised, it is important to remember that many people with the illness improve enough to lead independent, satisfying lives. http://sensitive-psychoworld.blogspot.co... |
