How to deal with schizophrenia

     Schizophrenia is a brain disorder. It becomes difficult for the people suffering from schizophrenia to stay in touch with reality. Hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech and disorganized behavior is noticed in them. Auditory hallucinations are the most common in schizophrenia. People with schizophrenia may hear voices that others don't do. The voices are abusive, unpleasant and obscene. Delusions are the false beliefs that the person firmly holds in mind and that don't change even after it is proven that the beliefs are not true. People with schizophrenia lose control of their emotions. Lack of emotional expressions, enthusiasm and interest in living life is observed in these people. 
     We are not going to analyse the causes of schizophrenia in this post. As it's discussed in the first post that our beliefs and feelings originate in our subconscious mind and we need to reprogram our subconscious mind in order to break the unwanted beliefs and plant the new ones, we will explore how affirmations can be used for different symptoms of schizophrenia. Remember that the medication has its own importance. Hence don't stop taking medicines while doing this exercise. As this exercise is based on reconditioning of subconscious mind through the affirmations, it's necessary to keep doing this exercise daily with patience.
