Among the symptoms of this disease is that the person may hear voices that others do not hear or may think that other people can read his thoughts or control his thoughts .

Such problems are usually accompanied by confusion or even significant changes in behavior . Psychiatrists diagnose this mental state according to different positive and negative symptoms .
Positive symptoms include :
Mental disorder, delirium, hallucination,
Negative symptoms include :
Feeling apathetic or numb, inability to concentrate, avoiding contact with other people, needing protection,
A person is suffering from thought disorder when he cannot follow the logical line of his thoughts and his ideas are confused or difficult to be understood by others .
Some people hear sounds that others do not. These voices may be familiar, friendly or critical voices. These sounds may examine the listener’s behavior or thoughts, or they may tell him what to do. Simply hearing such sounds does not mean having schizophrenia .
Illusion refers to beliefs and experiences that others do not share, for example, someone may think that he is being chased by secret police or controlled by occult forces that put certain thoughts in his head .
To social withdrawal, indifference and inability to concentrate They say negative symptoms because their characteristics are not very clear, it is not easy to say whether these symptoms are part of the symptoms of schizophrenia or whether they are the side effects of the person’s reaction to other things that have caused him frustration and fear..
Also, such symptoms can be a reaction to the behavior of others. In most cases, a person who has mental problems faces neglect or discrimination, and this causes isolation and depression .

One of the common false myths about this is that it is said that schizophrenia means a dual personality and a person who suffers from this condition may change his mood from a calm state to an uncontrollable state .
There are often exaggerated stories about schizophrenics in written and visual media and they are mentioned as dangerous people who should be under the control of sedatives and kept in the hospital. Many people who suffer from schizophrenia do not commit violent crimes and many such crimes are not committed by these people .
What causes schizophrenia?
Due to the difference of opinion about schizophrenia, it is not possible to say simply what is its cause, but it can be said that there are different ideas about it .
Inheritance
Researchers who were trying to find a “schizophrenia gene” have so far considered one gene to be effective Of course, there is also the belief that some genes may make some people more ready to suffer from the complications of this disease, although this does not necessarily mean that these complications will grow to the point of full illness. The physical condition of people, the way they grow up and the environment in which they grow probably play a role in getting this disease as well as their physiological condition .
Chemical state of the body
Biochemical research is focused on examining the amount of dopamine in the nerve connections that are responsible for carrying messages between brain cells. The theory that exists in this field indicates that there is an excessive amount of dopamine in schizophrenic people, but it is not yet known whether this chemical substance plays a role in the occurrence of schizophrenia or not.
Family experiences
The proposed theories indicate that a certain type of family may play a role in contracting this disease, but this theory has not been proven yet. It is generally accepted that early life experiences play a role in the formation of a person’s personality .
Difficult life events
Scientific studies indicate that very difficult life conditions may play a role in the onset of schizophrenia. These events include events that have changed a person’s life, such as the loss of someone who was close to him .
According to one of the studies conducted, more than half of those who say they hear negative voices experience They have been sexually and physically abused .
Improper use of chemicals
No one has yet proven the relationship between the improper use of chemicals and the occurrence of this disease. Many specialists think that a combination of a number of different factors play a role in the occurrence of schizophrenia. A person’s genetic composition may make him more ready to suffer from the disease, but difficult life conditions or especially family and life experiences may be involved in the onset of the complications of this disease .
drug prescription
Sedative drugs are used to control the positive side effects of this disease. These drugs may have adverse side effects. Especially if they are used in large quantities. These drugs cannot completely prevent the occurrence of the disease, but there is evidence that shows that they are effective in reducing the severity and intervals of the occurrence of the disease .
What other things can be done to improve the life of a person with schizophrenia?
Methods such as psychoanalysis, counseling, etc Cognitive therapy can help a schizophrenic person cope with his illness and return to a normal life. .
After this long introduction, on May 19, 1990, BBC TV held a panel discussion on the Pergar program, in which one of the participants stated that the Green Movement suffered from schizophrenia. After a short observation, I saw that it is really a correct analysis because all the symptoms of this disease are present in the members of this movement. One is that they have an illusion of struggle, while according to themselves, they are scattered in different countries and have not had any meaningful community so far. Second, they suffer from aimlessness, and according to themselves, no common ideology has been formed between them. Third, they lack leadership and do not know from whom and how to take orders. Fourth, there is no balanced body to draw possible decisions between them. The fifth point is that apparently a hereditary gene is the cause of this disease, which seems to be moving headless or eating its own head since the formation of the current of the opposition. It seems that melancholy has come to their lives. But the problem of this disease in the green movement is that it is dangerous, unlike schizophrenia, which is increased by the use of glass and crack, and has caused them to suffer more and more. Apparently, sedatives have lost their effectiveness.
It is possible that the difficult conditions of living in exile have affected this group with a kind of chronic depression that they say that it is no longer meaningful to be on the street, and using Facebook and virtual networks will not lead anywhere. Of course, significant fear in the elements of this The lifeless movement can be seen that even outside the pit, they don’t dare to say, O people inside, shut up!
What has made me even more surprised is that the religious leader Kadiyar and the first deputy of Mohajerani and the president Bani Sadr and the king in the exile of Raba Pahlavi and the ministers and the guests at the Pentagon table are no longer able to manage this movement with greatness, as if the corpse of this has turned green. The patient is also radical In Kavirdwande, even powerful porters like these are not strong enough to pull them down. So Fatiha. Mir Murshidi
