Is schizophrenia a somatic illness? Schizophrenia is a disease, a common disease. Generally speaking, about one in a hundred people have schizophrenia, which means that the prevalence is about 1%. In schizophrenia, there is a serious impairment of brain function, but it is not very clear what changes occur. In the human brain, there are more than 10 billion brain cells. From each cell, many branches grow, and brain cells are interconnected by these branches. From the end of the branch of the last brain cell, something is released, called ‘neurotransmitters’. To put it more colloquially, messengers that transmit information. In a normal situation, between the neurotransmitter and the receptor, the transmission of information does not occur incorrectly, and mental activity is normal. With schizophrenia, there may be too much of a certain neurotransmitter (maybe dopamine) or there may be a problem with their quality; let’s say there are too many postal workers, or incompetent ones, and they mess up and deliver the wrong mail. Too much information, too much chaos, and the mind becomes unhinged and exhibits all sorts of psychotic symptoms. The drugs currently used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia are not able to treat the root of the disease and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of unbalanced levels of transmitters in the brain. In this view, schizophrenia is a pathological change in the human brain, and it is the same as other physical diseases such as hypertension, pneumonia, or gastric ulcer, which are all diseases, not problems of thought, style, quality or personality, and should be treated correctly and not treated It is not a problem of mind, style, quality or personality. We believe that with the progress of science and finding the root cause of its development, schizophrenic patients will be a milestone change.
