Delusions may arise ...

Delusions may occur primarily through the painful treatment of the actual facts and events, and second, that based on violations of perception (hallucinations). Delusions can be of different content: the persecution, poisoning, witchcraft, impact of jealousy. Very typical for patients with schizophrenia is delusions of physical restraint, when they think they are hypnotized, electromagnetic or X-rays using special equipment, transmitters, both from Earth and from space. In this case, patients can hear in your head "voice" of those who act on them, control their thoughts, emotions and movements. They can be seen as "movies" or "special pictures" that they show the imaginary people (whose voices they hear), to feel different smells, often unpleasant experience painful sensations in the body and head as burning, blood transfusion, drilling, shot. Cheats perception (auditory, visual, olfactory, gustatory, tactile), or the perception of imaginary objects and stimuli and is called hallucinations. Emotional disorders begin with a loss of affection and compassion for the parents and loved ones, loss of interest in education, work, closed, fenced off. Sometimes patients become rude, spiteful toward loved ones, their parents are treated like strangers calling them by name and patronymic. Disappearing sense of responsibility, of duty, which affects the behavior. Patients fail to fulfill their responsibilities to monitor their appearance (do not wash, do not dress up, not combed), wander, commit stupid acts. Along with these deficit symptoms in patients during the exacerbation may be depressed (depression) or high (manic) mood. In patients observed marked reduction in volitional activity (goal-directed activity), leading to the complete indifference (apathy) and lethargy. Moreover, the severity of the volitional disorders, as well as emotional, correlates with the severity of the defect of personality. The so-called apathy-abulichesky syndrome and is the basis of schizophrenic defect. Characteristic of patients with schizophrenia are unique motor-volitional disorders (catatonic). The patient may be in a state of catatonic stupor (complete inhibition). Such patients may be a long time (sometimes weeks, months) lying in the uterine position with knees bent and feet pressed against his stomach, not reacting to others, not answering questions, without performing any instructions. They refuse to eat, and the staff had to feed them by force (via the probe) to avoid starvation. Some patients met symptom air bag in which they lie on their backs with raised pillow over his head. Long-term preservation of some patients may pose in relation to their existing waxy flexibility, which appears as a result of a peculiar redistribution of muscle tone. Patients may be long enough to save or artificially attached to them pose.
