SCHIZOPHERNIA 

Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness which affects the way you think, feel and behave and problem related to psychosis. The symptoms may affect how you cope with day to day life. There's lots of misconceptions about it. Even mental health professionals don't all agree about it. But the reality is that about 1 in every 100 people get this diagnosis at some point in their life.

CAUSES

Research has not identified one single cause of schizophrenia. It is thought that an interaction between genes and a range of environmental factors may cause schizophrenia.  Psychosocial factors may also affect the onset and course of schizophrenia. Heavy use of cannabis is associated with an elevated risk of the disorder. Some causes briefly described below:

1. Schizophrenia causes psychosis and is associated with considerable disability and may affect all areas of life including personal, family, social, educational, and occupational functioning.
2. Stigma, discrimination, and violation of human rights of people with schizophrenia are common.
3. More than two out of three people with psychosis in the world do not receive specialist mental health care.
4. A range of effective care options for people with schizophrenia exist and at least one in three people with schizophrenia will be able to fully recover.

PROBLEMS IN SCHIZOPHERNIA 

People with schizophrenia often also experience persistent difficulties with their cognitive or thinking skills, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving.

At least one third of people with schizophrenia experiences complete remission of symptoms . Some people with schizophrenia experience worsening and remission of symptoms periodically throughout their lives, others a gradual worsening of symptoms over time.

SCHIZOPHERNIA RISK FACTORS 

The risk to develop schizophrenia is composed of a biological predisposition with multi-genetic risk factors and changes in the neurotransmitter system, immunological influence factors and psychosocial risk factors. Genetic risk factors, perinatal risk factors and complications during birth could increase the probability of the disease. Besides these early risk factors traumatic events during childhood and especially risk factors like cannabis abuse that occur during adolescence which is a sensitive phase in the brain development could influence onset, development and relapse risk of the disease. If timing and sum of the single risk factors interact, they can cause the disturbance of neuronal regeneration and lead to schizophrenia, but the whole interaction of this multifactorial process is still not fully understood.

1. Having a family history of schizophrenia
2. Some pregnancy and birth complications, such as malnutrition or exposure to toxins or viruses that may impact brain development
3. Taking mind-altering (psychoactive or psychotropic) drugs during teen years and young adulthood

SCHIZOPHERNIA TREATMENTS
Diagnosing schizophrenia is complicated - there's no straightforward test for it. And views on this diagnosis have been changing over the years. Many people think that it may actually be several overlapping conditions, rather than one single condition.Individual or group talk therapy, sometimes in combination with medication to control drug cravings, can help. Individuals dealing with substance abuse may also require detoxification and rehabilitation services. A range of effective therapies in person where schizophrenia exist, and these include

1. Medication,
2. Psychoeducation,
3. Family interventions,
4. Cognitive-behavioural therapy
5. Psychosocial rehabilitation (e.g., life skills  training).

Facilitated assisted living, supported housing and supported employment are essential care options that should be available for people with schizophrenia.  A recovery-oriented approach – giving people agency in treatment decisions – is essential for people with schizophrenia and for their families and/or caregivers as well.
