Mental illnesses are represented by a wide range of disorders and pathologies characterised by radically different changes and manifestations. Not all of them are on the ear and are known to a wide range of people who are not connected with medicine and who have never encountered such problems in their environment. But everyone has probably heard of schizophrenic disorders. This category of diseases is one of the most common and, unfortunately, difficult to treat and rehabilitate.
Schizophrenia is a severe endogenous-procedural mental disorder manifested by acute psychotic episodes with rich symptomatology, as well as by intensification of symptoms and social maladaptation during crises.
The development of the disease is caused by the presence of some internal (endogenous) abnormal or pathological process that stimulates the development of the disease and causes its progression. This is not a short outbreak of non-standard (inadequate) behaviour for a person. These are systematic manifestations that progress over time and lead to the aggravation of the patient’s condition.
Refusal to treat schizophrenic disorders leads to unfortunate consequences. One of the characteristics of this type of disease is deficit symptomatology. Lack of medical care during acute episodes and supportive treatment during remission lead to worsening of symptoms and increasing manifestations of the disease. Apathy, a sense of hopelessness increases, initiative and desire to act are completely lost. The patient loses the desire to work, socialise, live. His circle of interests gradually narrows and eventually comes to naught completely. Schizophrenia is one of the mental disorders, when diagnosed, the patient receives a disability group, because the outcome of the disease without constant treatment – loss of self-care skills and complete loss of capacity.
Why schizophrenia occurs and develops
Unfortunately, the causes of schizophrenic disorders are completely unknown. It is a multifactorial disorder, i.e. a problem that develops under the influence of several causes, including a combination of endogenous and exogenous factors.
Among the possible triggers for the development of schizophrenia, factors such as:
- negative environmental conditions, poor ecological situation;
- psychological traumas, shocks received by the patient;
- prolonged stress;
- heredity, genetic predisposition;
- substance abuse, etc.
Symptoms of schizophrenia can be caused by the emergence of an imbalance between the exchange of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin in the structures of the human brain.

Types of schizophrenic disorders
Classification of schizophrenia is carried out taking into account the nature of the course of the disease.
Several main types of the disorder are distinguished:
- paranoid schizophrenia – “delusional” symptomatology prevails, accompanied by hallucinations, voices, anxiety, hyperexcitation;
- catatonic schizophrenia – manifested by motor retardation, which can be sharply transformed into motor agitation, accompanied by increased aggression;
- hebephrenic schizophrenia – characterised by manifestations of childish behaviour, inadequacy, sexual liberation;
- simple schizophrenia – there are no psychotic episodes, it can proceed in secret until the moment when it is very difficult to fight the disease.
The course of the disease can take place in episodes or be continuous. In either situation, timely and regular assistance of specialists is required.
