Schizophrenia

A lot of horror movies have been showcased all over the world in many languages. I am speaking about the ghostly movies in which a person would be possessed by some evil spirit. We have to appreciate the movie makers with those wild imaginations and the person acting. And if you are lucky you could have seen people in real life who are said to have possessed by a spirit. There are people like that all over the world. Some believe that exorcism can drive away the spirit. Some say that it is also a type of illness. Well, we can keep on thinking, how these spirits enter into the body, how they function in our system, where from they come, why the hell they like to posses these people. Forget all these complicated questions. Just try to understand a medical condition called schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a severe, chronic, brain disease. People with schizophrenia suffer from terrifying symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized and unusual thinking and speech mostly without any sense to others. An auditory hallucination, which is they tend to hear voices which the other people would not hear and they think that someone is controlling them and noticing their activities, this can be understood by having a conversation with them.
Hallucination are of different types may be an auditory (sound), visual (sight), tactile (touch), gustatory (taste), and olfactory (smell). The most prevalent one among the schizophrenia patients is the auditory. Next is about delusions, delusions can be defined as false beliefs, which is not reality. They tend to believe something which has never happened in reality, like they are being harassed, cheated or poisoned or these are focused on to someone very important to them or it might even be a cultural one. They have perceptions of reality which is strikingly different from reality of other people. As they live in distorted world filled with delusions and hallucinations, they feel frightened, anxious, and confused, unsafe.
These people behave differently at different times without making any sense to others surrounding them sometimes they are distant, detached, or preoccupied and may even sit as rigidly as a stone, not moving for hours or uttering a sound. Sometimes they are wide awake, vigilant and alert sensing some unknown danger. So now imagine a person with all these symptoms of schizophrenia, how will the person behave and how will u perceive the person as possessed by evil spirit. Sometimes the person himself can believe that he is possessed by an evil spirit this comes under delusion- false beliefs. And now if we try to understand this disorder chemically they say this disease is because of the malfunctioning of two chemicals glutamate and dopamine in brain. These two chemicals are said be neuro transmitters which are involved in functioning of brain. Am not saying that schizophrenia is misunderstood as the possession of evil spirits, may be they really exist. I found that both these have the same kind of symptoms and thought share with everyone.
