Humans stand tall as the only species that have a brain – a brain that absorbs and stores information faster than any other species. Human beings are also social creatures that are subjected to day to day, stressful exposure that involves a great deal of emotions which are wired to our brain. Our brain hence can take accumulated information from generations before us, distill it and pass it on which requires a great deal of mental energy. Since our brain is orchestrating distinctly for each specific function our body performs, chances are high even for a small nerve or any neurotransmitter to give up completely. Times have been stressful nowadays, Corona has transformed our lives into a monotonous ordeal, demanding each and every inch of our mental space. Hence, it’s already high time to destigmatize mental health and to talk about it more, Provide the ill with a healing space they always deserved.

Imagine being bombarded with voices from invisible forces, and stripped of your ability to understand what is real and what is not. You discover you cannot trust your senses, your mind plays tricks on you and your family and friends seem like a conspiracy to harm you. That’s what living with schizophrenia is like, that which comes under the diseases that are constantly demonized by society! We can define schizophrenia as a faulty interpretation of the reality by the mind along with hallucinations, delusions and exceptionally dissociated thoughts that can be disabling as well or may tend to blight the daily functioning.

The Schizophrenia Spectrum

Every person suffering from schizophrenia is unique and deals with unique challenges.

What allopathy offers for schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that demands a lifetime treatment including psychotherapy, medications prescribed are antipsychotic medications that help regulate the dopamine levels. Since these pose greater side effects, patients are seen to be hesitant in taking them.
