Schizophrenia: Heather


Heather shows disordered unorganized thoughts in her conversations. The odd facial expressions she displays when she speaks is a side effect of the antipsychotic medication she is on. While some antipsychotic meds do not produce such side effects, not all schizophrenics response well to such medication.

That is true. That's why I choose Psychology as a major. I want to help people who are mentally ill. They need to be understood, not laughed at.

I guess that'd be expected, since everyone interprets the world in their own way.

It's unfortunate that people consider schizophrenics and psychotics crazy; they really can't help it.

Yes they do, to a certain degree. But, in the mind of a Schizophrenic, their eratic behavior is normal.
