Schizophrenia Clinical Trial

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a disintegration of the process of thinking and of emotional responsiveness. It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction.

Causes

  • Schizophrenia is a complex illness. Even experts in the field are not certain what causes schizophrenia.
  • Genetic factors appear to play a role.
  • Some researchers believe that events in a person's environment may trigger schizophrenia
  • Psychological and social factors may also affect its development

Symptoms

    Symptoms and Clinical Trail Info
  • Schizophrenia may have a variety of symptoms. Usually the illness develops slowly over months or even years.
  • At first the symptoms may not be noticeable. You may feel tense or have trouble sleeping or concentrating. You can become isolated and withdrawn and have trouble making and keeping friends
  • As the illness continues psychotic symptoms develop:
    • An appearance or mood that shows no emotion (flat effect)
    • Bizarre motor behavior in which there is less reaction to the environment (catatonic behavior)
    • False beliefs or thoughts that have nothing to do with reality (delusions)
    • Hearing, seeing, or feeling things that are not there (hallucinations)
    • Thoughts "jump" between unrelated topics (disordered thinking)

Pharmaceutical companies are continuing to develop new and improved Schizophrenia medications. Prior to FDA approval, the only way to receive these medications is to participate in a Schizophrenia research study.
