An elderly woman stumbled into the room, dragging her daughter with her. Her daughter stood still, not saying a word. But the old lady asked anxiously, “Doctor, my daughter is fine, how come her brain has ‘split’?” Her daughter, Qiu Hong, was a steady, docile girl who was not very talkative and introverted. She has almost no friends and often goes to and from work alone. But the work has been doing quite well. In recent times, she was always late to get up and lazy. When she arrived at work, she felt distracted and did not want to do anything. Thinking that the content of other people’s chats was related to her and that her colleagues’ knitted brows and smiles were mocking her, she muttered and cursed, which made everyone baffled. Later, she was dismissed by the leader for making mistakes at work. Since then she has been more moody and bored, often out of her mind. Once her mother urged her to wash her hair, she simply took the scissors and cut it off haphazardly. The psychiatrist at Xiamen Xiangyue Hospital, Chen Rifang, is suffering from schizophrenia, which manifests itself as a change in the basic personality of a person, a splitting of thinking, emotions and behavior, and a dissonance between mental activities and the environment, rather than a “splitting” of the brain. Patients often do not recognize their pathology consciously and therefore cannot actively seek medical attention. Moreover, early manifestations of schizophrenia are oligophrenia, sitting alone, alienation from others, sensitivity and suspicion, and neurosis-like symptoms such as insomnia, headache, easy fatigue, poor concentration, and reduced ability to study and work, which are often not understood as illness by those around them. Therefore, once suspicious symptoms are detected, you should see a psychiatrist as soon as possible. Because most patients with early schizophrenia are more sensitive to medication, it is easy to achieve better results.
