Essay aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Klinische Psychologie, Psychopathologie, Prävention, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The history of schizophrenia forms the mental image of a jigsaw puzzle with at least half the pieces missing. It does not appear throughout much of human history and lacks detailed accounts. There are writings that describe schizophrenic-like symptoms in patients of antiquity but the first recognized cases in both medical and psychiatric literature were not published until 1809. It took another century for the illness to be officially named; schizophrenia, from the Greek "splitting of the mind", chosen to articulate the separation of the patient's mind from reality in both perception and thinking. Our knowledge of the illness's existence does not even stretch back to the time of the French Revolution. When viewed through this perspective the lack of definitive knowledge surrounding cause, treatment and prevention seems expected, or at least understandable. Diagnosing schizophrenia is a complicated process. An initial requirement is the presence of symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations as well as the significant impairment of social/occupational functioning for a period of six months. It's difficult to imagine that by the time one is officially diagnosed as schizophrenic their life is not already in complete disarray. It is a life destroying illness.
