Grand Canyon University Features of Schizophrenia Discussion

 

Watch the following video presentation by a person who has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia 

Your post should be professionally written and detailed. It should provide information and fully communicate your ideas. It should be written in complete sentence and paragraph format.

For this post, briefly summarize schizophrenia, with details from your main text or other credible sources. Please do not use sources that pre-date the DSM-5 unless you justify your reason. For example, there might be a reason you justify using a study from 2001, 1985, or 1953. But you would have to know WHY. 

Describe the features of schizophrenia that the speaker reports experiences and which led to her diagnosis. Please be very specific here as this is the most important part of your discussion. You will need to look at a DSM-5 resource (your textbook is ok) to be able to do this.

Discuss whether the client was experiencing distress and dysfunction from their mental illness and whether the dysfunction is chronic or acute for the client.

Discuss treatment for the condition, the outcome of treatment, and prognosis. How is the person in the video apparently doing with their treatment and with their life-functioning?
