It seemed like her symptoms got worse over the couple days we waited for the test results but I was just getting anxious about what the results might be.After those four days that seemed to drag on forever, the doctor called us to come back for the results.

When watching, “Alice in Wonderland” as a child of course I didn’t know what Schizophrenia was, therefore I didn’t recognize or look for this in the character of Alice. After doing research and re-watching the film, it became clearer to me that Alice does in fact show symptoms of Schizophrenia.

The video clip was about schizophrenia. It was noted that a few symptoms that people with schizophrenia suffer with is sight, sounds, winds and even scents. In the video the person was experiencing many two voices in their head, also known as hallucination. One voice was saying that he was worthless, out to get him and the other voice was telling him that he was also worthless and that they were a waste of space. As the video shows an example of the pizza man delivering the pizza and the phone ringing, the thoughts in their head was that they were out to get him and etc. I think that one of the treatment that was use is when the lady came into the house and asked why was it so dark and she pulled the blinds and made the sun shine through, then

Before this video and class, I didn’t really know anything about schizophrenia, but now I know how terrible it is to have this illness. Like the video mentioned, there is no typical case of schizophrenia or typical symptoms. It varies per person. The person that was in the video mainly heard voices in their mind almost all the time (more than one person). They would say random things like “you’re so stupid” or “ungrateful”. In addition to hearing things, they would also see things that weren’t happening. For example, when the person opened the pizza box and was about to eat it, she heard voices saying “don’t eat it. Poison”. At that moment, the pizza started bubbling like if it were poisoned or if there were something wrong with it. Also, towards

Gonzalez symptoms are similar in intensity to that of her father's, going from one extreme to the next. She goes for days without speaking to anyone or going to class. Bursting out with fits of rage towards her boyfriend. Having the feeling of being so uncomfortable while attending parties she has the urge to scream.

In this week’s readings chapter twelve is about schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder in which personal, social, and occupational functioning deteriorate as a result of strange perceptions, unusual emotions, and motor abnormalities. This disorder is very interesting, but also kind of scary to me. They literally end up in their own world, losing contact with reality. With that, they also experience hallucinations or delusions, which can cause them to do abnormal, possibly dangerous actions. These symptoms must last six months or more before the person can be diagnosed with schizophrenia. It will affect 1 out of 100 people in the world during ones lifetime.

My choosing of critiquing this bullet point comes from personal experience. Moreover, my father has schizophrenia and it is very evident that the disease is real. Some days, he will be “normal” and other days he will have an episode or multiple episodes. For example, we can be doing something like bowling and then, all of the sudden, it is like a flip of a switch and he will be making buzzing noises or telling me that the voices won’t stop.
