" What the patient says becomes incomprehensible to those around him either because sentences are unconnected to each other, or else because there seems to be no point to the stories told, or else because topics seem to switch with great frequency. Words may take on special meanings in schizophrenia either because they trigger private associations or because attention is paid to individual sounds rather than whole words. For instance " psychiatry " may sound like " sigh Kaya tree " & the topic may switch suddenly from a discussion of psychiatry to a discussion about mystical trees. Certain words may be avoided because they sound harsh or evil. Sometimes intonations are changed for similar reasons. Sometimes language is used as an incantation to ward off threats. Difficulty making sense to others is a symptom of the acute phase of the illness. It is almost impossible to communicate with patients when they are in this phase & it is very frustrating to family. " www.schizophrenia.com/family/delusions.html Cognitive symptoms Cognitive symptoms are subtle and are often detected only when neuropsychological tests are performed. They include the following: poor " executive functioning " (the ability to absorb and interpret information and make decisions based on that information), inability to sustain attention, and problems with " working memory " (the ability to keep recently learned information in mind and use it right away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
