A Treatable Brain Disorder Affecting Thought and Perception
Schizophrenia is a serious but treatable mental health disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It can cause individuals to lose touch with reality, leading to significant distress in personal, social, and occupational areas of life.
The condition often begins in late adolescence or early adulthood. Common symptoms include:
Hallucinations: Hearing voices or seeing things that aren’t there
Delusions: Firmly held false beliefs (e.g., feeling watched or persecuted)
Disorganized Thinking: Difficulty organizing thoughts, speaking incoherently
Social Withdrawal: Avoiding interactions, emotional flatness, lack of motivation
Cognitive Difficulties: Trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
Schizophrenia does not mean having a “split personality”, as is often misunderstood. Instead, it involves a distortion in the perception of reality and often requires long-term treatment.
Dr. Pradnya Kasar Jain provides comprehensive and compassionate care for individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. Her treatment approach focuses on:
Antipsychotic medications to reduce hallucinations, delusions, and thought disturbances
Psychoeducation to help patients and families understand the illness and manage symptoms
Supportive psychotherapy to build insight, coping skills, and improve functioning
Family counseling to strengthen the caregiving system and reduce relapse risk
Rehabilitation planning to help patients reintegrate into work, education, and daily life
While schizophrenia is a chronic condition, early diagnosis and consistent treatment can significantly improve quality of life. Many individuals with schizophrenia go on to lead meaningful, independent lives with proper support.
Dr. Jain emphasizes personalized care and regular follow-up, ensuring that each patient receives the support they need to stabilize symptoms, reduce relapses, and live with dignity.
