@drjaleelmohammed: Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder characterised by a range of symptoms, including: 1. Hallucinations: These are sensory experiences that appear real but are created by the mind. The most common type is auditory hallucinations, where individuals hear voices that others do not. 2. Delusions: These are false beliefs strongly held despite contrary evidence. Common delusions in schizophrenia include paranoid delusions, such as believing one is being persecuted, or grandiose delusions, such as believing one has extraordinary abilities or fame. 3. Thought Disorder: This involves disorganised thinking, making it difficult to organize thoughts or connect them logically. It can result in incoherent speech, jumping from one topic to another, and difficulty in communicating effectively. 4. Self-Neglect: Individuals with schizophrenia may neglect personal hygiene and self-care. This can manifest as poor grooming, wearing dirty clothes, or neglecting to eat properly, often due to a lack of awareness or motivation. 5. Thought Alienation: This symptom involves a feeling that one’s thoughts are not one's own or are being inserted, withdrawn, or broadcasted. It creates a sense of external control over one's thoughts, leading to significant distress and confusion. #schizophrenia #psychosis #MentalHealth #psychiatry #psychiatrist
