Abnormalities of People with Schizophrenia

This article highlights the abnormalities that schizophrenic people have and how factors affects can the victim since the brain structure is different; for example, having a caustic family relationships or experiencing traumatic situations can trigger both the positive and negative symptoms. From a biological view, schizophrenia is developed from high levels of dopamine, different brain structure, and genetics. It is essential for patients to be surrounded by a person because hallucinations, dilutions, or other thought can disrupts an organism from receiving aliments and care.

Both Connolly and Clara explains the harsh lifestyle of people with schizophrenia because they have a high mortality that results from the sensibility to high levels of smoking, low diet, and hypertension. In addition, possible medications such as antipsychotic drugs have a different reaction to the ill people because they can develop secondary lowered of oestrogen and testoeterone which can exacerbate their current situation. By focusing on the people who are living with people who have chronic disease, the authors reveal that it is difficult protecting a person who is ill for which it requires boldness, help, and patience to prevent danger. In addition, the authors emphasize on that external factors such as smoking and medical drugs are more detrimental to the ill people because their brain chemistry is very different since levels of dopamine are unstable. So they assume that physical activity will reduce lipids in their system based from Brown’s research, and that motivating victims to be active will reduce their mortality rate since the respiratory system would be intact. Overall, the author’s argument declared the multiple things that can accelerate ...

... replicable experiments. In addition, the authors highlight those structural brain abnormalities especially in the memory sections such as the hippocampus and the parahippocampal gyrus and assumes that from t-test and ANOVA test that smaller volume surrounding the hippocampus correlates with schizophrenia. While the citation of various studies and experiments support the authors’ argument such as Commonwealth of Massachusetts department of Mental Health, their opinion is ambiguous because the lack of focus in female patients with schizophrenia shows an invalid experiment and results. To aggrandize their argument is essential to include experiments and MRI scanning done upon females patients because if the results is similar to the male group then the results can be utilize to describe the abnormalities in the brain structure on people suffering with schizophrenia.
