recognize Schizophrenia

recognize Schizophrenia
Although an exact definition of Schizophrenia is always a debate to experts , there are indications that more evident that schizophrenia is a disorder that occurs in brain function . In the book The Broken Brain : The Biological Revolution in Psychiatry by Dr. . Nancy Andreasen , said that the current evidence about the attack Schizophrenia is a matter that involves many factors . These factors include changes in the physical structure of the brain , changes in the chemical structure of the brain , and genetic factors .
Inside there are billions of brain cell connections . Each cell line as well as a place to continue to receive messages from other cell connection . The cell connection releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters that carry messages from one cell line end to end connection to another cell . In the brain that develop schizophrenia , there is a fault or damage to the communications system .
For families with schizophrenia in it , will understand clearly what is experienced by patients with schizophrenia by comparing the brain with the phone . In the normal person , the system switches to work with a normal brain . Perceptual signals that come shipped back perfectly without any interference resulting in feelings , thoughts , and ultimately act upon the needs of the moment . In the brains of patients with schizophrenia , the signals are transmitted disorder that had not reached the target cell line .
Schizophrenia gradually formed where the family and the patient does not realize there is something wrong in the brain in a long time . Slowly damage that eventually became hidden and dangerous schizophrenia . The symptoms slowly it could be acute schizophrenia . The period of acute schizophrenia is a disorder that is short and strong , which include hallucinations , misdirection mind ( delusions ) , and a failure to think .
Schizophrenia sometimes sudden attack . Very dramatic behavioral changes occur within a few days or weeks . The sudden attacks always trigger a rapid acute period . Some people develop a lifelong disorder , but many are able to return to normal life in the acute period . Most found that they were ostracized , suffering from severe depression , and can not function as a normal person in a like environment .
In some cases , attacks can rise to what is called chronic schizophrenia . Patients become savage , lose as a human character in social life , have no motivation at all , depression , and lack of sensitivity about his own feelings .
Psychiatrists distinguish the symptoms of schizophrenia into two , namely positive and negative symptoms .
positive symptoms
Hallucinations always occurs when the stimulation is too strong and the brain is not able to interpret and respond to the message or stimulus coming . People with schizophrenia may hear voices or see things that are not there , or experiencing an unusual sensation in his body . Auditory hallucinations , symptoms usually occur , the patient felt a voice from within him . Sometimes it felt soothing voice , gives peace , but sometimes the voice told him to do something really dangerous , like a suicide .
Misdirection mind ( delusions ) is a strong belief in something that is sometimes interpreted contrary to reality . For example , in patients with schizophrenia , the traffic lights on the highway red green yellow , regarded as a gesture of outer space . Some people turn out to be a paranoid schizophrenic . They always felt being scrutinized , staked out , or about to be attacked.
Failure of thinking leads to a problem where people with schizophrenia are not able to process and organize his thoughts . Most people are not able to understand the relationship between reality and logic . Because individuals with schizophrenia who are not able to set his mind to make them speak recklessly and can not be captured in the logic . Inability to think result in the inability to control your emotions and feelings . As a result, people with schizophrenia sometimes laughing to himself or talking to himself out loud without a care in the world .
All that makes people with schizophrenia could not understand who he was , did not dress , and could not understand what it is man . He also could not understand when he was born , where he was , and so on .
negative symptoms
Patients with schizophrenia lose motivation and apathy means loss of energy and interest in life that make people become lazy . Because patients with schizophrenia only has a little energy , they can not do anything other than sleep and eat .
Feeling emotionally blunted make people with schizophrenia to be flat . People with schizophrenia do not have a good expression of his countenance and movements , as if he did not have any emotion . But this does not mean that people with schizophrenia can not feel any sense . They may be able to receive gifts and attention of others , but can not express their feelings .
Depression who do not know the feeling of wanting to help and hope , always be a part of life in patients with schizophrenia . They do not feel they have deviant behavior , relationships can not build relationships with others , and do not know love . Feelings of depression is something that is very painful . In addition , the biological brain changes also contribute to depression .
Ongoing depression will make people with schizophrenia withdraw from their environment . They always feel safe when alone .
In some cases , schizophrenia attacking young men between 15 and 30 years old , but most of the attacks occurred at the age of 40 years and above . Schizophrenia can affect anyone regardless of gender, race , or socioeconomic level . Schizophrenia is estimated as many as 1 % of the number of humans on earth .
Schizophrenia can not be cured until now . But with the help of psychiatrist and medication , schizophrenia can be controlled . Recovery does happen sometimes , but it can not be predicted . In some cases , patients become better than before . Relief of symptoms always appear in the first 2 years after the patients treated , and gradually became rare after 5 years of treatment . At that advanced age , over 40 years old , lives with schizophrenia are treated , the better , given drug dosage will be reduced , and the frequency of treatment will be increasingly rare .

Not caused by Rett syndrome or Childhood disintegrative disorder .
But there is always the possibility of misdiagnosis , especially in mild autism . This is usually caused by a disturbance or other diseases that accompany autism disorders that exist , such as severe mental retardation or hyperactivity .
Autism has the possibility to be cured , depending on the severity of the disorder there . Based on recent news , in Indonesia there are 2 people with autism are successfully treated , and is now able to live a normal and achievement . In America , where people with autism be treated more seriously , a greater percentage of healing .

ACHIEVING THE MAXIMUM POTENTIAL LIFE

ACHIEVING THE MAXIMUM POTENTIAL LIFE

Everyone longed for a better future; successful in your career,
household and social relations, but we often hit by various
constraints. And it was the biggest obstacle to ourselves.
Through his work, Joel Osteen challenges us to get out of the mindset that
narrow and begin to think in a new paradigm.

There are 7 steps that we achieve maximum potential life:

* The first step is expanding horizons. You should see life
with the eyes of faith, look at yourself being bolted to a higher level.
You must have a clear mental picture of what you will achieve.
This picture should be a part of you, in your mind, in your conversation,
seep into your subconscious mind, in deeds and in each
aspects of life.

* Step two is to develop a healthy self image. That means you have to
underlying picture yourself on what God says about you.
Achieving the goal of your success depends on how you look
yourself and how you feel about yourself. Because it will determine
level of confidence in the act. The fact that you will not be
never shot higher than what you think about yourself

* Step three is to discover the power behind your thoughts and words.
The main target is the mind of an enemy attack. He knew if he
managed to control and manipulate what you think, then he
be managed to control and manipulate the entire life.
Thoughts determine the behavior, attitude and self-image. Mind set goals.
The Bible warns us to always keep our minds.

* The fourth step is the release of the past, let it go ...
You may have lost everything that no one should experience
in this life. If you want to live in victory, you can not use
trauma of the past as an excuse for making bad choices today.
You must have the courage not to make the past as a reason for your bad attitude
during this time, or justify your actions to not forgive someone.

* Step five is to find strength in the worst circumstances even
We have to be: "I may have dropped a few times in my life, but
but I will continue to stay down there. "We all face
challenges in life. We all have experienced things that come
attack us. We may be imposed from the outside, but the key to life
victory is to learn how to rise again from the inside.


* Step six is ​​to give with joy. One of the biggest challenges
we face is the temptation to live selfish.
For we know that God does want the best for us,
He wants us to prosper, enjoy the grace and more that He is in store for us,
but sometimes we forget and get caught up in selfish behavior.
Indeed, we will experience more joy than I ever imagined
if we want to share life with others.

* Step seven is to choose to be happy today. You do not have to wait
until all your personality  resolved. You do not have to put off happiness
until you reach all of your target. God wants you to be happy any condition,
now!

The Montessori Approach to Education

The Montessori Approach to Education

   Developed by Italian educator and doctor Maria Montessori, the Montessori model of education is based on respect for a child's natural psychological development. It's estimated that there are more than 20,000 Montessori schools worldwide, with students ranging from infant age to eighteen years of age. A Montessori education emphasizes a child's social development as much as his or her academic development, and it aims to help a child build independence and practical skills within a supportive framework which respects each student's individual growth rates. Students are looked at as whole individuals: the physical and the emotional are as important as their cognitive development.
Montessori schools for infants and toddlers have the primary focus of providing opportunities for children to develop motor skills, independence, and a love of learning. Teachers engage students with materials that are size and age-appropriate. The Montessori approach at this age also aims to develop toileting skills. Parents often participate with their youngsters in "parent-tot" classes at which the parent can help guide their child through a variety of age-appropriate activities.

As children grow into the preschool and kindergarten years (ages two and a half to six), the Montessori model engages them in activities which help them develop independence in a variety of practical pursuits. Mixed age classrooms allow children to help and learn from one another. Teachers provide manipulatives such as spoons and cups which help students develop confidence and practical skills. Students move freely and are often given the choice to engage in the activity which interests them most, allowing them to build a sense of freedom and personal empowerment. A focus on the development of the senses is also evident in a Montessori preschool classroom, as is engagement in art, music and language activities. Students' differences are respected and celebrated.

As students approach the elementary and middle school years (ages six to twelve), the Montessori curriculum is integrated to emphasize connections across all subject areas. Language, history, science, math, and the arts are all studied in hands-on, interconnected, project-oriented ways. Students learn through hands-on experiences and are actively engaged in investigation and research; they are not vessels to be "filled" with information. Students direct their own explorations, further emphasizing the development of their independence. Students also take learning outside of the classroom (sometimes referred to "going out" in Montessori) to engage in real-world investigations which build on what they learn in the classroom environment. The result is a confident, independent learner who is ready to succeed in high school and beyond.

Research on the Montessori model has shown that graduates of Montessori schools are prepared well for later life in an academic sense as well as socially and emotionally. Graduates score well on standardized tests and often receive above average rankings on criteria such as attentive listening, showing responsibility, and critical thinking. They are able to adapt to new situations and show a love and enthusiasm for learning.
