Schizophrenia Paroxysmal-progressive

Paroxysmal-progressive schizophrenia (also known as intermittent-progressive schizophrenia or schizophrenia intermittently) is a subtype of schizophrenia that is characterized by periods of improvement and deterioration in the patient's health. During periods of improvement, patients may lead a relatively normal life, but then there is a period of deterioration that may last several weeks or months.

During periods of improvement, patients can be socially active, work and communicate with others. However, during periods of deterioration, they may lose interest in life, become withdrawn, and develop psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders.

The main symptoms of paroxysmal-progressive schizophrenia include:

  1. Hallucinations: sensations that have no basis in reality, such as hearing voices that are not really there.

  2. Delusions: unfounded beliefs, such as the belief that someone is watching the patient or entering his thoughts.

  3. Thinking disorders: difficulty concentrating, decreased productivity of thinking, absent-mindedness in speech.

  4. Social isolation: the tendency to avoid contact with other people and social situations.

Attack-progressive schizophrenia is a chronic disease that can greatly affect the quality of life of the patient and his loved ones. Although the causes of this disease are not fully understood, there are a number of factors that may increase the risk of developing it, such as heredity, drug use and stress.

Treatment of attack-progressive schizophrenia may include drug therapy, psychotherapy and rehabilitation measures. Before starting treatment, it is important to diagnose the disease and determine a treatment regimen suitable for each specific case.

Paroxysmal-progressive schizophrenia is a serious disease that requires complex and long-term treatment. However, with the right approach and timely assistance from doctors, patients can improve their condition and control the symptoms of the disease.



The schizophrenic process continues unabated. Along with those described above, there are some observations by which the stages of development of the process can be determined: the most initial (prodromal), preparatory (premorbid) or preclinical. The readiness for the disease is much higher among those who have heard directly from someone about having ever suffered acute psychosis or about an insane relative. In this regard, the judgment about the danger of the disease is considered a misconception: from a family in the past, for example, mentally ill relatives come from 20-30% of all families studied; however, already in the second generation no more than 3-6% become ill. Schizophenia is passed on as a predisposition, rather than a mental illness passing from parents to children as a generational curse. Girls are more often infected; whereas after birth, which is easily and without complications perceived by healthy parents with completely full motherhood, noting
