Sample Book Insights: #1 Schizophrenia means fatigue and confusion, trying to separate every experience into the real and the unreal, and not being aware of where the edges overlap. It means trying to think straight when there are many obstacles in your way. #2 Sympathy is the ability to put yourself in the place of someone else and understand their situation. It is difficult to sympathize with those who are afflicted with schizophrenia, as it is difficult to understand their situation and their disease process. #3 When listening to people with schizophrenia describe their experiences, certain abnormalities can be noticed: altered senses, inability to sort and interpret incoming sensations, delusions and hallucinations, altered sense of self, changes in emotions, changes in movements, and changes in behavior. #4 The senses are often altered in the early stages of breakdown in individuals with schizophrenia. These changes may be either enhancement or blunting, and all sensory modalities may be affected.
