In advance, I'd like to let you know what Schizophrenia is, because it is mentioned a lot in the story and one of the characters have it, so it would be helpful if you knew what it was.
Signs and symptoms of:
Catatonic Schizophrenia
•The hallmark of catatonic schizophrenia is a disturbance in movement: either a decrease in activity, reflecting a stuporous state, or an increase in activity, reflecting an excited state.
•The stuporous state reflects a dramatic reduction in activity. The person often ceases all voluntary movement and speech, and may be extremely resistant to any change in his or her position, even to the point of holding an awkward, uncomfortable position for hours.
•Sometimes, people with catatonic schizophrenia pass suddenly from a state of calmness to a state of extreme excitement. During this frenzied episode, they may shout, talk rapidly, pace back and forth, or act out in violence-either toward themselves or others.
People with catatonic schizophrenia can be highly suggestible. They may automatically obey commands, imitate the actions of others, or mimic what others say. They lose their temper easily.
•Relationships suffer because people with schizophrenia often withdraw and isolate themselves. Paranoia can also cause a person with schizophrenia to be suspicious of friends and family.
