Definition of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is supposed to be an illness characterized by visual or auditory hallucinations, delusions, and an inability to pursue meaningful work. Irrespective of whatever the symptoms displayed by the client may be we propound a revolutionary and innovative way to deal with this mental health condition. SCHIZOPHRENIA IS A CREATIVE ILLNESS BECAUSE THE ONLY CURE FOR IT CAN BE CREATIVITY. SCHIZOPHRENIA IN WOMEN CAN BE OVERCOME VIA WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT. It is the sociological, cultural, economic, legal, and political nature of an environment that poses barriers for people to function normally that makes people succumb to Schizophrenia. This is the UNCRPD PERSPECTIVE! Don’t merely look at what the symptom inventories are saying. Schizophrenia is SET OF BEHAVIORS THAT CAN BE UNLEARNED AND NOT A DEGENERATIVE BRAIN DISEASE although the latter is what psychiatrists and caregivers say to shirk their responsibility. After all, it is very easy for them to sedate a person with a drug or pill than put in mammoth work to change the client’s highly dysfunctional social environment. 25 years of living with schizophrenia and coming out of it plus helping others come out of it have taught me this. Schizophrenia occurs when somebody is forced to live in an unlivable environment with no support structures to respect and nurture the unique creativity and intelligence an individual has. It occurs in families that have a control-command atmosphere and thereby restrict space for an individual to experiment, grow, and learn about the world surrounding them.
Having a highly supportive and understanding social environment that can be conducive to growth and development which respects the special sensitivity, creativity, intelligence, and talent of somebody with schizophrenia, is what will make schizophrenia go away. What a person with “schizophrenia” needs is meaningful work, loving support from caregivers and alternatives like yoga, pranayama, gyming, walking, talk therapy, oil massages to help in relaxation of muscles, gardening, acupuncture, creative cooking, art therapy, writing as therapy, hypnosis, hydration, music and dance therapy, body movement therapy, spirituality, self-advocacy, pet-animal therapy – a combination of 2 or more of these [depending on what the client likes and wants to do] which can help in recovery.
