Patient Q & A Section
What is schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia, a chronic, debilitating, psychotic and afflicting disease, is a mental disorder that manifests itself through emotional, cognitive, emotional and social symptoms. It is caused by abnormalities in the brain development. There is no cure, only alleviation of a number of symptoms. Schizophrenia occurs in an unknown but very small percentage of the world population.
How many people get schizophrenia a year in the United States?
At the national aggregate level, 2.7 million Americans received formal psychiatric diagnoses in 2005. The incidence rate per 100,000 was higher in people age 25 to 44 (12.9) than in those age 45 to 64 (7.9). The greatest increases occurred among blacks (1.8 cases per 100,000), Hispanics (1.5), and persons age 35 to 44 (1.5). The incidence of schizophrenia was less common after age 65 (1.7) than before age 65 (3.1). The incidence of a first episode of psychosis was significantly higher after age 35 than before age 25 (6.2 per 100,000).
What causes schizophrenia?
What causes psychosis? In the future, the development of personalized treatments based on genetic or environmental factors related to schizophrenia may provide new medical approaches for the management of psychosis.
Can schizophrenia be cured?
For patients this study should provide a basis for estimating recovery rates, which are not as good in the treatment of schizophrenia as the current treatment paradigm suggests. However, there are limitations to the data. Some patients could not return for clinical follow up. As a result, we did not estimate an annual recovery rate.
What are the signs of schizophrenia?
Patients usually have a clear awareness of their problem and are aware of the social deficits and the loss of drive associated with the disorder. However, patients and caregivers often lack insight concerning the severity or the likelihood that the symptomatology may result in future social disability. This under-appraisal may lead to long-term exacerbations of their symptoms as they learn to deal with the situation by manipulating symptoms, exacerbating the problem, and avoiding social situations. When patients receive adequate support, they can regain insight and become self-aware of their need for treatment. For this reason, patients are an important target in the early detection, early intervention, and treatment of schizophrenia.
What are common treatments for schizophrenia?
Several common medical treatments for schizophrenia are used in our community but their role in health care costs is minimal. Better treatments are needed. When considering treatments, cost is a major issue and has been addressed in the provision of care guidelines. The development and evaluation of new treatments is a priority in both research and practice. New medications such as atypical antipsychotics are no doubt the treatments of choice for schizophrenia but the development of more tolerable treatments is needed. Other treatments including traditional psychosocial treatments, antidepressants, anticonvulsants and non-pharmacological interventions should be developed and evaluated in more detail at all levels of care.
Who should consider clinical trials for schizophrenia?
There is much support for studies for schizophrenia, which are needed to provide the patient with a better chance of a successful outcome. This would also help improve the diagnosis and care for the patients. However, we can not ignore the importance of informing patients about, for example, which trials they cannot participate in and how they work and would they help them much less and how we would do that. If we wanted to make a change in medical practice and thought, which if we did it, for example not knowing that schizophrenics cannot participate in some of the studies that are required and do not work is one of those studies, then the other ones we would not want to know, would not work for them (e.g.
What is the average age someone gets schizophrenia?
A study of the national population of persons with schizophrenia has not yet been conducted. In order to answer this question, the data must be collected in an unbiased manner. Future research should consider applying new statistical and methodological approaches in order to obtain unbiased, representative and reliable estimates of the prevalence of this mental disorder in the general population. Furthermore, data collection must be standardized and standardized. The findings should be adjusted to geographic location and socioeconomic status. The data should be analyzed using the latest epidemiological methods that can adequately reflect the situation in which the persons live and study their lifetime risk of developing schizophrenia.
Does schizophrenia run in families?
There is a modest amount of evidence that schizophrenia is inherited and has an inheritance pattern somewhere in between the classic Mendelian disease model and complex, polygenic human genetic models of disease. We report on the findings of three major collaborative studies that support the hypothesis that schizophrenia does have an inheritance, but also discuss the complexities of the problem and the remaining challenges. We highlight the need for more stringent criteria to distinguish genuine genetic risk in schizophrenia from spurious risk due to genetics being misidentified as the cause of schizophrenia.
What are the latest developments in sep363856 for therapeutic use?
It may be assumed that sep363856 has no effect on the course of the disease as such. The therapeutic use of this drug is no longer possible at present pending further studies.
How serious can schizophrenia be?
There is no precise answer to this question. The seriousness, degree of impairment and cost of untreated schizophrenia is a very individual response to the illness, to each person afflicted with it and their families\n
Does sep363856 improve quality of life for those with schizophrenia?
In a recent study, findings suggest that the administration of a single moderate dose (800 μg/day) of the neuroprotective compound SEP363856, administered in an extended release formulation to individuals with schizophrenia, has a positive effect on the perceived quality of life and has no significant adverse effects compared with placebo. This is a novel preliminary finding which requires replication in larger, more rigorous trials.
