    Psycho Pathology of Schizophrenia

    Uploaded by

    David D. Adsuara
    A 51-year-old male has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He experienced stress from unemployment and poverty, was stabbed by another person, and stopped schooling due to teacher insults which led to a lack of education. He also smoked, drank alcohol, and used prohibited drugs. His body can no longer adapt efficiently due to an imbalance of neurotransmitters and receptors. He exhibits abnormalities in the frontal lobes, limbic structures, and ventricles as well as decreased glucose use in the hippocampus leading to memory impairment and impaired emotional activity.
