Deciphering the Disconnect – Schizophrenia and Communication
by Admin | Jun 23, 2022 | Posts |
- Schizophrenia affects the way our brain develops, which can lead to trouble with thinking and talking.
- One of the main issues with schizophrenia is that people have trouble communicating and expressing themselves in language.
- Psychosis (hallucinations and delusions) is also common with schizophrenia, but it doesn’t happen all the time and can come and go.
- The chemical dopamine might play a role in what happens with schizophrenia, it is not clear if it also causes language problems.
- Studies on the brain suggest that imbalances in how brain cells communicate (excitatory and inhibitory processes) might be responsible for the language problems in schizphrenia.
- This review looks at how these imbalances might affect language in schizophrenia through different levels of brain-based measurements (neurochemistry, neuriphysiology, and neurocognition).
