ClassX Video Lessons What is Real and What is Not Real? | World Mental Health Day | Schizophrenia #worldmentalhealthday
Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia might find it hard to tell what is real from what is not. This condition can show up in different ways, and each person might have different symptoms.
When schizophrenia starts, it can be hard to notice. People might start acting differently, like being more easily annoyed or having trouble speaking clearly. They might also start having strange thoughts. These signs can be missed or thought to be something else, which makes it hard to figure out what’s going on early.
As schizophrenia develops, people might have sudden changes in their emotions. For example, someone might feel scared or anxious and then suddenly start laughing for no clear reason. These changes can be confusing for both the person experiencing them and the people around them.
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that needs understanding and kindness. Knowing the early signs and symptoms is important so that people can get help and support when they need it.
Our brain is like a supercomputer that controls everything we do. It helps us think, feel, and make decisions. In people with schizophrenia, the brain works differently, which can affect how they see the world. Scientists are still learning about how the brain works and why conditions like schizophrenia happen. Understanding the brain better can help us find new ways to help people with mental health conditions.
Emotion Observation Journal: Keep a journal for one week where you write down different emotions you feel each day. Try to notice if there are any sudden changes in how you feel. At the end of the week, look back at your journal and see if you can find any patterns or triggers for your emotions. Discuss with a family member or friend about how emotions can change and what might cause these changes.
Brain Model Craft: Create a simple model of the brain using clay or playdough. Label different parts of the brain and learn about what each part does. For example, the frontal lobe helps with decision-making and problem-solving. Discuss how these parts might work differently in someone with schizophrenia. This activity helps you understand how complex and amazing the brain is!
Role-Playing Game: With a friend or family member, role-play different scenarios where someone might experience sudden emotional changes. For example, pretend one person is feeling very happy and then suddenly feels anxious. Talk about how it feels to have these changes and what you can do to help someone who might be experiencing them. This activity helps build empathy and understanding for people with mental health conditions.
