Schizophrenia: What we don't know

A special day?
24th May was World Schizophrenia Day. While we dedicate one day of the calendar year to some or the other illness these days, it's still a distant dream to enhance awareness and appropriate education about different physical as well as psychological conditions; sufficient enough to enable each one of us to take the right steps towards identifying them and treating them appropriately. More so in psychological conditions like schizophrenia. Frequently misconstrued as witchcraft, outcome of sins, possession by spirits or just simply insanity that warrants punishment; schizophrenia is rarely well understood and appreciated as a medical illness that deserves medical care and nursing just like all physical other illnesses.

How change occurs

Childhood is the phase of instillation of value systems. From a scientific as well as research perspective, behavioral change never occurs overnight. Revolution takes place over time. To get a good plant we need to sow the right seeds and offer them the appropriate nourishment throughout the growth phase. Weeds don’t become nutritious edibles overnight; thus solutions to social problems like crime against women can never be immediate.
