問題詳情

請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題:Schizophrenia is a complex, chronic, and severe brain that interferes with a person’s ability to thinkclearly, manage emotions, make decisions, and relate to others. Nowadays it affects approximately 1% of alladults globally. The word schizophrenia comes from the Greek word skhizein meaning “to split” and theGreek word phren meaning “heart, mind.” The Swiss psychiatrist, Eugen Bleuler (1857-1939), coined theterm Schizophrenie in 1908.However, schizophrenia does not imply a “split personality” or “multiple personality disorder”—acondition with which it has been confused in public perception. Experts say schizophrenia is probably manyillnesses masquerading as one. Research indicates that schizophrenia is likely to be the result of faultyneuronal development in the brain of the fetus, which later in life emerges as a full-blown illness. As of todaythere is no physical or laboratory test that can absolutely diagnose schizophrenia. Clinical diagnosis ofschizophrenia is based on a person’s observed behavior and self-reported experiences.Symptoms of schizophrenia typically come on gradually, beginning in young adulthood and lasting along time, and they may vary, depending on the individual. Some may hear voices that are not there. Somemay be convinced that others are reading their minds, controlling how they think, or plotting against them.This can distress patients severely and persistently, making them demotivated, withdrawn, and frantic. Othersmay find it hard to make sense of what the patients are talking about. In some cases, they may spend hourscompletely still, without talking. On other occasions they may seem fine, until they start explaining whatthey are truly thinking.The effects of schizophrenia reach far beyond the patient. Families, friends, and society are affected too.A sizable proportion of people with schizophrenia have to rely on others, for they are unable to hold a job orcare for themselves.
