    Childhood Schizophrenia

    Schizophrenia is a mental illness which affects millions of people throughout the world. Scientists have begun to understand more and more about the possible causes, predisposing factors, types, and possible treatments for schizophrenia. (Torrey, 1995) It is very rare for schizophrenic symptoms to appear before the age of 12 but it does occur. Recently, there has been a growing interest in childhood schizophrenia. It is less than one-sixtieth as common as the adult-onset type but the characteristics are very similar. Childhood schizophrenia also tends to be harder to treat and to have a worse prognosis than the adult-onset form. (Rapoport, 1997)…

    Amanda Bynes and Schizophrenia

    Whether they’re enthralled by it, appalled by it, or concerned by it, I think it’s safe to say that everyone has an opinion on the Amanda Byne’s meltdown. The alleged marijuana bong-tossing incident, setting fire in a stranger’s driveway, getting into multiple car accidents (hit and runs), wearing ratty wigs, humorously denying her odd behavior, calling each and every critic of hers “ugly” via her Twitter feed, and getting evicted from her apartment, an endless amount of people are weighing in on it, attempting to get to the bottom of the child-star’s meltdown. Is it schizophrenia? Or is she simply a helpless victim of what stardom and countless amounts of money can do to you? I believe that she has unfortunately ruined her image. She is displaying all the characteristics of the psychological disorder Schizophrenia. She has totally changed as a person, when only three years back she was starring in major films, and was an actress to look up to. Much like Lindsay Lohan's infamous meltdown, Amanda Bynes has proven to herself, and the public, that she has gone crazy, with obvious evidence through her actions.…
