Turtles. They Can't be Trusted.

Turtles and Net Neutrality Pt. 2

The FCC failed us.

Ajit Pai is a little c**t.

What to do now that I have no meme?

The Internet is dying, just like my soul.

Yes. I know this chapter is spam.

But I like spam. They're cheap, like my life.

What are the Symptoms of Schizophrenia?
A medical or mental health professional may use the following terms when discussing the symptoms of schizophrenia.
Positive symptoms are disturbances that are "added" to the person's personality.
Delusions –false ideas--individuals may believe that someone is spying on him or her, or that they are someone famous (or a religious figure).
Hallucinations –seeing, feeling, tasting, hearing or smelling something that doesn't really exist. The most common experience is hearing imaginary voices that give commands or comments to the individual.
Disordered thinking and speech –moving from one topic to another, in a nonsensical fashion. Individuals may also make up their own words or sounds, rhyme in a way that doesn't make sense, or repeat words and ideas.
Disorganized behavior –this can range from having problems with routine behaviors like hygiene or chosing appropriate clothing for the weather, to unprovoked outbursts, to impulsive and uninhibited actions. A person may also have movements that seem anxious, agitated, tense or constant without any apparent reason.
Negative symptoms are capabilities that are "lost" from the person's personality.
Social withdrawal
Extreme apathy (lack of interest or enthusiasm)
Lack of drive or initiative
Emotional flatness
How is Schizophrenia Treated?
If you suspect someone you know is experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia, encourage them to see a medical or mental health professional immediately. Early treatment--even as early as the first episode--can mean a better long-term outcome.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
While no cure for schizophrenia exists, many people with this illness can lead productive and fulfilling lives with the proper treatment. Recovery is possible through a variety of services, including medication and rehabilitation programs. Rehabilitation can help a person recover the confidence and skills needed to live a productive and independent life in the community. Types of services that help a person with schizophrenia include:
Case management helps people access services, financial assistance, treatment and other resources.
Psychosocial Rehabilitation Programs are programs that help people regain skills such as: employment, cooking, cleaning, budgeting, shopping, socializing, problem solving, and stress management.
Self-help groups provide on-going support and information to persons with serious mental illness by individuals who experience mental illness themselves.
Drop-in centers are places where individuals with mental illness can socialize and/or receive informal support and services on an as-needed basis.
Housing programs offer a range of support and supervision from 24 hour supervised living to drop-in support as needed.
Employment programs assist individuals in finding employment and/or gaining the skills necessary to re-enter the workforce.
Therapy/Counseling includes different forms of "talk"therapy, both individual and group, that can help both the patient and family members to better understand the illness and share their concerns.
Crisis Services include 24 hour hotlines, after hours counseling, residential placement and in-patient hospitalization.
Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) has been found to be especially effective in improving outcomes for people after they experience their first episode of psychosis. Coordinated Specialty Care involves a team of providers who work with the individual using shared decision making to implement a multi-faceted program aimed at helping the individual to recover. CSC often includes a combination of case management, therapy, supported employment and education services, support and education for the family of the individual, and/or medication. The CSC team also works closely with the individual's primary care provider. Learn more about CSC through NIMH's Recovery After an Initial Schizophrenia Episode (RAISE) Project.
