Living with the negative and positive symptoms of schizophrenia can be challenging. While it is not possible to completely cure schizophrenia, it is possible to manage the symptoms. With the right schizophrenia treatment center in North Carolina, clients can learn about the best therapies, medications, and counseling programs for treating schizophrenia.

What Are the Positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia comes with positive and negative symptoms. The positive symptoms are symptoms that the person does not normally have. While the positive symptoms of schizophrenia involve the addition of symptoms, negative symptoms involve the absence of symptoms. For example, hearing hallucinations is a positive symptom. Meanwhile, examples of negative symptoms are things like social withdrawal or a lack of pleasure.

Positive symptoms of schizophrenia involve things like having exaggerated perceptions, actions, or ideas. The individual loses the ability to tell reality from their imagination. They may have visual, olfactory, sensory, or auditory hallucinations.

The individual may suffer from religious or persecutory delusions. They may believe that songs or television shows have a secret, personal message for them. Sometimes, the individual believes that a celebrity is in love with them. They may have grandiose delusions of being famous or powerful.

Often, someone with schizophrenia will have problems concentrating. They may have confused thoughts and difficulties talking in a logical way. Some people also develop movement disorders like repeating the same motions or not moving at all for several hours.

What Treatment Options Are Available?

Even if someone no longer has symptoms, they still need to take their medication. Schizophrenia is a lifelong disorder, so it never truly goes away. Clients can manage schizophrenia with medications and therapy, but they cannot cure it completely.

In general, doctors treat schizophrenia with medications and psychosocial therapy. Severe cases may require hospitalization so that doctors can get the symptoms safely under control. Other than medication, clients may get help through individual therapy, family counseling, social skills training, and vocational rehabilitation. Individual therapy supports clients as they learn how to cope with stress, normalize their thought patterns and spot warning signs of a potential relapse. Meanwhile, family therapy helps families learn how they can support their loved one.

Learn More About Mental Health Programs

Discovering information about the positive symptoms of schizophrenia is only the first step in achieving mental well-being. Through the best schizophrenia treatment center North Carolina offers, clients can discover the therapies and medication they need to achieve mental health.
