The betrayed times, part 2

Stanislaw Barszczak—A Patient’s View, part 2—MPD(disharmony multiple personality) is a highly sensationalized disorder, blown out of perspective by Hollywood movies, where the sufferer actually possesses two or more distinctly different personalities within their minds, a condition that is usually brought on by severe childhood trauma. Schizophrenia is a very different illness. Because of its debilitating symptoms, uncertain causes, and the degree of difficulty to find the right treatment for an individual, schizophrenia is the most difficult mental illness to have to live with.” Usually, a simple task at school and work are difficult to execute for schizophrenics, and have difficulty thinking and concentrating properly. Schizophrenia also affects memory. It is not uncommon that a person suffering from schizophrenia are not able to recall what she said, whether and to what she saw during the psychosis, whether those things were true or not. Weight loss and suicidal ideation is also common. The emergence of symptoms of schizophrenia usually strikes people between the second and third decade of life.
Can affect children under the age of twelve years, or it can hurt a person in a sleep state until the end of her twenties, as well as at the time in which the disease severity of the symptoms these individuals are referred to as “witchcraft” or, more often, ‘psychotic episodes’. Spells are milder psychotic episodes are very serious events in which a person cannot distinguish reality from imagination, such individuals often have the impression that they are in danger or are threatened and need something comprehension to stop it. These psychotic episodes may be preceded by other symptoms, but they often appear suddenly and without warning. Most people will be affected by schizophrenia in the first psychotic episode in adolescence. What causes schizophrenia? The exact cause of schizophrenia is not known, but it is unlikely that there is no one specific cause of the disease. Presents the hypothesis that, as with other mental disorders, such as the obsessive-compulsive disorders and antisocial personality disorders, schizophrenia derives its origin from the combined areas of biological, psychological and social (Cantor-Graae, 2007). There are two theories specific about what causes schizophrenia: one through the balance of chemicals during fetal development of the brain, and the second to the poor state of the attractor in the brain. Due to the nature of the disease, schizophrenia can be very difficult to detect. Schizophrenics often try to hide the fact that they see hallucinations, because they fear ridicule, afraid to move away from over-reactive imagination, then immaturity, childishness. (Vianna, 1993) Due to these factors, often, unfortunately, only possible to identify people with schizophrenia after he underwent major episodes of their illness.
Today, the above-mentioned elements of schizophrenia adds yet activation of the immune system of mother and fetus, the process In examining the development of the brain … causes of autism, researchers found that mothers who were infected during pregnancy, then it is more likely that children acquire abnormalities in gene expression and behavior. These abnormalities were not only consistent with the behavior of autistic children, but also patients with schizophrenia. (Smith, 2007) With regard to mothers with immune activation, it means that during pregnancy the mother’s immune system was stimulated, a higher than usual due to infections before what should have been protected. It is concluded, often shift the balance of chemicals in the brain development of the child. In particular, the levels of cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been lowered. Chemical role of the latter is to mediate behavior and transcriptional activity in the brain. If the amount of the compound was reduced in the brain during fetal development, it means the presence of behavioral deficits, emotional and cognitive people with schizophrenia.

Such a retreat would be too difficult for me, such isolation, as in the case of Adam, could not help me, others may. One morning, Dr. Kotania stood at the foot of my hospital bed in the bleached apron and asking me questions. Before I was diagnosed with retinal detachment again. I was transferred to another bed and brought to the operating room. Strange smell and the operating room cleanliness. The lights seemed too bright. After the injection, I felt strange. I remember the voice of Dr. Kotania who laid your hand upon me. I turned my head to look around a little and I saw the assistant of Dr. I saw caps, strange machines, and light. Everything was blurry because I did not have my glasses .. I started to feel surreal and disoriented, I was not even sure if it was needed anesthesia, whether it was my anxiety. I lay my head back down and just closed my eyes. And I was not aware of. It was such a strong feeling that my body was literally in his hands. I cannot help but feel the doctor only join. I have seen many times Dr. Kotania in the past three years since the first time I was diagnosed with retinal detachment. I could not help but feel love and gratitude for this man, who is my doctor. He is an expert, it is always nice and gentle, no knowledge of surgery. Surgery is a tremendous experience, I entrust myself and the whole body in someone else’s hands, and his knowledge. For the first time I experienced the feelings that cause fear being ‘under the knife’, as well as subject under anesthesia, it annoys me. Maybe it’s because I was afraid that I will not ‘wake up’ again … After the surgery, I remember a nurse told me to improve on the pillow, but most of all, I saw green and blue dots on the floor. There was a sharp pain and a feeling of overcrowding. I looked around. I knew I had to use the bathroom. ‘I gotta go’ – I told myself, the nurse helped me gradually.
After my surgery I had for Dr. Kotania many warm words. Dr. Kotania could not return my full vision in the eye, I had lost them, but completely prevented the retinal detachment and saved from losing all my vision in that eye, and I am very grateful to him for it. It is a fairly good vision in that eye, which seeks to cooperate with my right eye. It took me all day to wake up from anesthesia. George assistant, and I think, the main techniques of Dr. Kotania, took me into the room, was ready to take pictures of my retina. I felt nervous, because my surgery did not work one hundred percent, even I started to cry. George patted me on the shoulder to comfort me. I was afraid of losing more vision, but also having to go through another exhaustive, surgical, painful treatments. But he contacted Dr. Kotania for me. I told him about my vision disorders, and even agreed with me on some appointments. Even now I look forward to meeting with Dr. Kotania at 10:30. I hear his voice, already talking to the other in the hallway. I see him in passing in his white coat. Then there is the door, falls firmly. He shook my hand. ’What’s happening?’ He says with satisfaction. ‘Are your eyes are okay, I have not noticed any change?’ Anaesthesia is strange, I cannot sleep, it’s not even like going to sleep, because I have no dreams at all, and I have trouble sleeping.
