What is Schizophrenia?

• Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling
  brain disorder that affects about 1.1 percect of
  the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given
  year

5
Symptoms

• People with schizophrenia sometimes hear voices
  others dont hear, believe that others are
  broadcasting their thoughts to the world, or
  become convinced that others are plotting to harm
  them. These experiences can make them fearful
  and withdrawn and cause difficulties when they
  try to have relationships with others.

6
Signs and Symptoms

• Symptoms usually develop in men in their late
  teens or early twenties and women in their
  twenties and thirties, but in rare cases, can
  appear in childhood. They can include
  hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking,
  movement disorders, flat affect, social
  withdrawl, and cognitive deficits.

7
End Note

• Currently, this is a time of hope for people with
  schizophrenia. Although the causes of the
  diseases have not been determined, current
  treatments can eliminate many of the symptoms and
  allow people with schizophrenia to live
  independent and fulfilling lives in the community

66
Lobotomy

• Discovered in 1847 by accident.
• 2-5 of patients died.
• 5 had convulsions due to brain scarring.
• Numerous patients became worse rather than
  better.

67
Kennedy

• Considered as psychologically unstable, she
  underwent a prefrontal lobotomy at age 23, which
  left her permanently incapacitated.

68
Placid and easygoing as a child and teenager, the
maturing Kennedy became increasingly assertive in
her personality. She was reportedly subject to
violent mood swings. Some observers have since
attributed this behavior to her difficulties in
keeping up with siblings who were expected to
perform to high standards, as well as the
hormonal surges associated with puberty. In any
case, the family had difficulty dealing with the
often-stormy Rosemary, who had begun to sneak out
at night from the convent where she was educated
and cared for.10
69
In 1941, when Rosemary was 23, doctors told her
father that a new neurosurgical procedure,
lobotomy, would help calm her mood swings and
sometimes-violent outbursts.11 Joseph P.
Kennedy decided that Rosemary should have the
lobotomy performed, but did not inform Rose until
afterwards. At the time, relatively few
lobotomies had been performed James W. Watts,
who carried out the procedure with Walter
Freeman, described what happened
70
"We went through the top of the head, I think she
was awake. She had a mild tranquilizer. I made a
surgical incision in the brain through the skull.
It was near the front. It was on both sides. We
just made a small incision, no more than an
inch." The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like
a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut
brain tissue. "We put an instrument inside," he
said. As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman put questions
to Rosemary. For example, he asked her to recite
the Lord's Prayer or sing "God Bless America" or
count backwards. ... "We made an estimate on how
far to cut based on how she responded." ... When
she began to become incoherent, they stopped.

Sanity Vs Insanity

• In Ken Keseys novel One Flew Over the Cuckoos
  Nest, Kesey discusses sanity vs. insanity.
  Through this novel, Kesey reveals that although
  McMurphy believes he should not be in the ward,
  he does not fight the sentencing because the
  court would not believe him. Im a psychopath.
  And do you think Im gonna argue with the court?
  Shoo, you can bet your bottom dollar I dont. If
  it gets me outta those damn pea fields Ill be
  whatever their little heart desires, be it
  psychopath or mad dog or werewolf (18). As
  explained in this quote, McMurphy only accepted
  his sentence to the ward because he did not want
  to have to do harsh labor. He believes that as
  long as he does not have to do difficult labor,
  he is more than willing to accept staying in the
  ward with the label as a psychopath.
