# Paranoid schizophrenia - These persons are very suspicious of others and often have grand schemes of persecution at the root of their behavior. Halluciations, and more frequently delusions, are a prominent and common part of the illness.
# Disorganized schizophrenia (Hebephrenic Schizophrenia) - In this case the person is verbally incoherent and may have moods and emotions that are not appropriate to the situation. Hallucinations are not usually present.
# Catatonic schizophrenia - In this case, the person is extremely withdrawn, negative and isolated, and has marked psychomotor disturbances.
# Residual schizophrenia - In this case the person is not currently suffering from delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized speech and behavior, but lacks motivation and interest in day-to-day living.
# Schizoaffective disorder - These people have symptoms of schizophrenia as well as mood disorder such as major depression, bipolar mania, or mixed mania.
# Undifferentiated Schizophrenia - Conditions meeting the general diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia but not conforming to any of the above subtypes, or exhibiting the features of more than one of them without a clear predominance of a particular set of diagnostic characteristics.
# Additional Information on Schizophrenia
Not only terminal patients see such visions. In fact one of the first research projects of the S.P.R. in 1889 was to collect accounts of people seeing apparitions. The question asked was:
Have you ever, when believing yourself completely awake, had a vivid impression of seeing or being touched by a living being or an inanimate object or of hearing a voice; which impression was not due to any external physical cause?
In this "Census of Hallucinations" some 17000 cases were being studied and the most trustworthy published. It was ascertained that about 10% of the population had such an experience. The conclusion was that there must be some connection between the death of a person and an apparition.
Sometimes the phantasm of a deceased person seems to come for the sole purpose of conveying urgent information to the surviving relative. In one of such cases the late farmer James Chaffin appeared to his son to show him that he had hidden in his Bible his last will.
Many cases have been documented of people being forewarned of a coming disaster by an apparition. In other cases apparitions, sometimes seen as angels, gave life saving advice.
Apparition (in white) filmed on video in 1998 at Belgrave Hall Museum, Leicester, UK (dating from 1709). Curator vouches for authenticity.
Apparitions have been observed to cast a shadow, be reflected in a mirror, overturn furniture, make sounds whilst walking, leave a scent, ask for a lift, in short, demonstrate to possess an active intelligence.
Communications from the dead
A popular saying has it that no one has ever returned to tell what happened after death. They do not take into consideration then the millions of communications said to have been received by the survivors directly, or by means of a psychically gifted person - a medium. This contact with the dead has been reported to us from the dawn of mankind. Thousands of books have been filled with descriptions of the hereafter.
Some of these communications were dictated whilst the recipient was asleep. In other cases one hand just scribbled on its own accord the messages whilst the receiver was either asleep or conducting a conversation. Messages have revealed facts no one alive could have ever known.
With some mediums so-called 'drop-in communicators' manifested. They were quite unknown to anyone present and told particulars of their former life in another country. What they told was verified in that country at a later date. The results of the investigation confirmed what was told at the seance.
misconception in families of people with schizophrenia is the though that "if we do nothing, maybe it will get better - maybe its just a phase." The truth is, however, that this is typically the worse thing that can be done if the person does have schizophrenia, and greatly increases the probablity that the person will suffer much more permanent damage than if treated quickly. Schizophrenia is generally recognized now as a disease of the brain (with significant data that supports the belief that it is a neurodevelopment problem in the brain) in which the brain is physically damaged (see images of brain with schizophrenia), and unfortunately the noticable symptoms of schizophrenia are usually quite late in the disease process.
a professor of psychiatry at Vanderbilt University and an expert on schizophrenia, has said, "the psychosis part of schizophrenia is almost a late stage in the evolution of the disease process." and that, "the key message is that this is a neurodevelopmental disorder and that changes in memory, learning, attention and executive decision-making precede the experience of the psychosis."
Individuals who are at risk for developing a psychotic illness usually experience mental and emotional changes before more serious symptoms develop. These early signs are often non-specific, sometimes, even barely noticeable. The unexpected decline in a person's usual way of functioning or relating to others is the most common indicator of an early sign of risk. This early period is called the "prodromal" period (or Prodrome) by psychiatrists.
