Answer 1

No. My mother specialise in working with these adults as a nurse, on an out patient basis. They are highly intelligent and creative. Unfortunately, the drugs needed to control the effects of the disease also suppress their intelligence. What the disease does is prevent them from entering rem sleep, which is very important to a healthy brain. As a result the dreams come out while awake. Some of the same thing can happen to people, if only on a short term basis, who don't get proper sleep, at night. The lack of sleep causes you to lose the exact same chemicals that schizophrenics lack in their brains.

Answer 2

Why are you asking these questions about Schizophrenia?? Are you working from a script? You won't find any children diagnosed with Schizophrenia. It's a disorder of early adulthood. You're being redundant. And, no, childlike behavior is not an overt symptom, never has been.

Answer 3

That is not my experience. I have a good friend who is schizophrenic.........she is on good meds and she is absolutely brilliant. She can't take much stress so she doesn't work but part time teaching French in college as a second language and teaching private French and Spanish lessons....also English. No,she is extremely responsible and trys so hard to fit in with society.
