Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder in which people


interpret realty abnormally. The exact cause is unknown
but, genetics, environment and chemical imbalance in
brain may lead to it. It is characterized by abnormal social
behavior. In severe cases patients may see or hear things
that arent real.
Symptoms
Behavioral: Aggression, hyperactivity, self harm, lack of
restraint and social withdrawal
Psychological: Visual or auditory hallucination,
paranoia, depression and fear
Cognitive: Delusion, thought disorder and slowness in
activity
Speech: Incoherent speech or rapid and frenzied
speaking
Treatment
Medication only treats some symptoms of schizophrenia.
Antipsychotic medication only reduces psychotic
symptoms but cant treat symptoms such as social
withdrawal. Homeopathy treats the whole person and not
just the symptoms. No homeopathic medication should
be taken without consulting a certified homeopath. Few
homeopathic medications used in the treatment of
schizophrenia are:

Hyoscyamus Niger is useful when delusion is the main


symptom.
Anacardium Orientale is an important medicine to treat
patients with auditory hallucinations.
Cannabiis Indica is an important medicine to treat
patients with disorganized speech.
