Epilepsy and Schizophrenia | What are the symptoms?
How can you tell if someone has this problem? The symptoms will be different depending on which question schizophrenia may occur slowly, over time, or suddenly, from one moment to another. They may also appear and disappear at times.
In general, the person with schizophrenia is behaving strangely, making others avoid it. Among the most common symptoms, you may notice that the affected person has one or more of the following behaviors:
- Fantasies and misconceptions, and that someone is spying on them or that they are famous or gods.
- Hallucinations. The most common is to hear imaginary voices that give commands or make comments to them, but they can smell aromas that do not exist, have rare flavors in the mouth and feeling sensations on the skin or anything but no one is playing. (more…)
Some recent research suggests that both conditions could be linked: those with epilepsy have more chances of developing schizophrenia and vice versa. Another study also relates the so-called schizophrenia with bipolar disorder. Here we tell you more details on these findings and what are the most visible symptoms of schizophrenia.
