Well , the story began when I was a higher secondary school student ( called +2 in Nepal ).One friend of mine recommended a movie entitled "A beautiful mind ".Frankly speaking after watching it for first time i could not understand the movie.The only thing i came to know was The Actor(Russel Crowe) was suffering from a disease called Schizophrenia.It was the first time i knew the name .I google it. And then i decided to watch the movie for the second time.I was so much inspired by this movie that I decided to make medicine as a career.This movie and the disease Schizophrenia has made a blueprint in my mind.

Being a medical student i was posted in Psychiatric ward. It was first time that i saw a schizophrenic patient.She was a known case of Schizophrenia for 6 years and was taking medication.Later that night i was told by a resident doctor that she has a history of three consecutive miscarriage. She don't have any child but she behaves like she has 7 year old son with whom she can talk and play . In medical term we call it as audio-visual hallucination. Auditory hallucination are more common in schizophrenia. She thinks that every family members are against her child ( we call it as delusion of persecution).
The next day i closely observed the patient. She was obviously not in touch with reality. She looked like a stupor with decreased self care and poor grooming. There was poor verbal and non verbal communication . Of course there was no eye contact at all with poor social interaction.There was proper thought blocking ( patient interrupt before thought is completed). There was no any suicidal thought ( it is very rare in schizophrenia but may be associated with depressive symptoms).

She is undergoing treatment. She is showing some sign of improvement.We all hope she would be normal again.
Once i read in our textbook that

Schizophrenia is arguably the worst disease affecting mankind, even AIDS not expected.

At Last,
