Ok. To be honest i have only met one person in my entire life that had schizophrenia, and boy was i in for a big surprise. In the church that i attend i always notices this really quite girl that would sometimes be a sweetheart and then to other sundays she hated the whole word. I remember, one time it started raining and she stepped out side and kneeled down and started worshiping "something". All this was very new to me and had no idea of what was happening to her. Until her mom, decided to tell us her testimony and what it was like living with a daughter that is a danger to others. I only recall bits and pieces, but from what i remember she was exhausted of trying to please her daughter. When she started going to church she was very happy and thought it was a breakthrough in her life. She started having more problems with her, she said that in the middle of the night her daughter Mary* would go outside and just walk for hours, she had also tried taking her own life before. Mary had auditory hallucinations that tell her to do radial actions and do things that can harm others and herself. On time i recall trying to say hi to her, and she would not let me near her. To this day i do not know what ever happened to mary, but her matters still attends church and had this deep hope that she might change for the better.
Schizophrenia is a very delicate disorder and until this day research and psychologist still do not find a solid link into as why it develops in the individuals. Sure the text mentions several ideas on how the person might of developed it, but still not no one can reached a permanent reason. People with the disorder may hear voices other people don't hear. They may believe other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. This can terrify people with the illness and make them withdrawn or extremely agitated. People with schizophrenia may not make sense when they talk. They may sit for hours without moving or talking. Sometimes people with schizophrenia seem perfectly fine until they talk about what they are really thinking.
In the video your about to see, you will witness a person that lost his mind to paranoid schizopherinia and with it lost his whole family and not is confined to live a solitary life away from his children and wife. You will get to hear both sides of the person and how it has affected them immensely.
Wow what a sad story. Both actually! I don't even want to know what the mother must have gone/ is still going through. I personally dont have any kids but i can't bare to think how stressful and difficult it must be to have a child who is suffering from schizophrenia. And the thing is that there is nothing you can do, but just keep an eye out of them. The guy from the video was also very unique. Its sad that he doesn't even recognize his own children. Or the fact that he changed so drastically over a short period of time. You know you go from being this successful hardworking person to living in the streets. Its incredible what a disorder can do to you. Especially, the fact that hes happy that way. Since researchers are still trying ot figure out what exactly causes schizophrenia, i would understand why there still is no cure. I have read that gene mutations play a huge role in this as well as any environmental causes. SInce we can't really prevent some environmental events, we should focus more on the biology aspects of the disorder to learn more about it and maybe even learn how to prevent it from occuring.
