FREE ESSAY ON THEIR TWO WORLDS

THEIR TWO WORLDS

??Can I ever forget that I am schizophrenic? I am isolated and I am alone. I am never
real. I play-act my life, touching and feeling only shadows. My heart and soul are
touched, but the feelings remain locked away, festering inside me because they cannot
find expression.?? 
Anonymous, New York Times, March 18,1986
Simply Schizophrenia can be described as the word, ??madness?? or ??crazy??. The people
who are suffering from the illness, usually hurry and try to dismiss the picture of the
deranged individual from their minds which means their minds are divorced from reality in
the society. The world's almost 1% population was affected and on average, 1 person out
of 100 persons will suffer schizophrenia. It usually starts between the ages of 15 and
25. Some schizophrenics are caused by overwhelming stress. The symptoms often appear when
a young adult leaves home for the first time to live on his other own. It is possible
that if the parents or one of their ancestor had the illness their children or posterity
10 to 15% will easily suffer. Generally the symptoms are delusions, hallucinations and
incoherent conversation between the patients. Delusions are unthinking of ideas that have
no reasonable basis in fact (for example, I am invisible). Hallucinations are sensory
experiences that occur without any external stimulus. Hearing, seeing, or sensing
something that is not there (for example, Ordinary colors appeared to be much too bright,
and sunlight seemed dazzling in intensity).And they feel that someone is controlling
their mind, for instance, someone in the television show might affects them. Here is a
paragraph that Louise Wilson wrote of one such delusion in This Stranger, My son her ill
son.
He refused to touch any food that I had prepared or handled, even a bakery cake,
if my hand had untied the string. Not until years later did we hear he was afraid his
food was being poisoned.
There is no drug or exact medicine yet, only the long term counseling will help them to
recover. The doctor??s most important job is teaching them about their illness. So they
might understand their illness and possibly can change their mind if they concern about 
their future. And also giving them simply work the hospital or mountain climbing which 
give them good self-confident have helped some people to recover their illness.
According to most therapists, after watching their patients 5-6years, found some
improvements. It??s not forever but, to reach to the end, it will take 30-40years. The
family??s perseverance might be absolutely needed.
The future is not hopeless and many doctors and others are trying to find new medicine.
Only time is the problem. But the most important thing might is the patient??s
willingness of recovery and family??s constant support.
