what emotions are hightened when a person is schizophrenic?

Answer 1

There are many types of schizophrenia. In those types that include auditory or visual hallucinations, fear as extreme as terror is experienced at first. To have a loud "voice" in your head that is not welcome,is hostile and no one else experiences it or believes your accounts of it is enough to near paralyze a person.

Answer 4

Many schizophrenic persons will act very, very mystical. That is from my own experience from dealing with schizphrenics in the past. It is common for them to believe that they have special "powers."

Answer 5

The emotions that are heightened when a person is schitzophrenic depends on who the person is, what caused the condition, and several other things. For example, if it was cuased by autism (which sometimes happens), it would be all of the emotions would be heightened, or they can be dulled for all of the personalities.
