What is Schizophrenia?
![Page 3: Algorithm research presentation draft 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c5932af79596c298b4f50/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is Schizophrenia?
• hallucinations - hearing or seeing things that do not exist• delusions - unusual beliefs that are not based on reality
and often contradict the evidence• muddled thoughts based on the hallucinations or
delusions• changes in behaviour
Schizophrenia is a long-term mental health condition that causes a range of
different psychological symptoms. These include:

Reality? Fiction?
• schizophrenia is a disorder which blurs the line between what is real and what is unreal.
• these false delusions and compromised realities do in fact seem very real to its victims

The 4 types of SchizophreniaThere are actually four different types of schizophrenia, a distinction which
often gets lost under the umbrella that the term "schizophrenia" provides.
• 1)”paranoid" schizophrenia,• 2)"disorganized" schizophrenia,• 3)"catatonic" schizophrenia, • 4)"undifferentiated" schizophrenia,

How to build a relationship with a schizophrenic
• entering this world with an open mind and heart.
• understanding
• Participate in the story• You need to gain the trust and love of the person undergoing a
schizophrenic experience.

• not give up on them and to not despair.

How to convince a Schizophrenic for treatment
• The cold methods of traditional medicine should be
considered skeptically when wanting to help a schizophrenic
• Be sure that you have found a doctor who will talk with the
schizophrenic and won’t just do his or her diagnose
• A loving understanding and in depth participation on the part of
the one who wants to help is often the first step in aiding a schizophrenic in his or her first steps towards betterment.

The one who wants to help should:
• offer trust and love• needs to be prepared for an in depth journey into the psyche of another person
• Be there for the psychotic, no matter how trying they might be
•Try and find out the story the person is living through
• Enter his world of reasoning.
• gain the trust of the person undergoing a psychosis is of the utmost importance.
•If you are trying to get in touch emotionally with a schizophrenic be prepared to take a lot of blows.

Why Filmmaking?

Watching movies affects the brain
• Different editing and directing styles affect brain activity
• In cinema, some films lead most viewers through a similar sequence of perceptual, emotional, and cognitive states.

Effect of Watching Movies
• All of our senses are affected through movies• Our psyche is directly impacted by movies, especially
when we hear music that arouses emotions as we watch
• They also elicit emotions by stimulating our senses

Movies For Better or for Worse • They can re-traumatize• they can worsen anxiety and
depression• The effect depends who is seeing it
• movies can make us more aware of what's happening
• TEACH US compassion and empathy

Film as a teaching tool
• Psychiatric educators should familiarize
themselves with the variety of film options when teaching about schizophrenia.
• They have already begun using A Beautiful Mind as a tool for instructing a wide
variety of trainees.

Filmmaking Therapy
• a way to vent their frustration, loneliness and fear through the art of filmmaking.
• Turning thoughts and dreams into a vibrant visual story
• these films help explain the experiences of the patient and become an inspiration to others.

Therapeutic Filmmaking
• It offers some way in which to express emotions about
personal experience
• By expressing personal experiences, you can find
healing and recovery
• filmmaking as a therapeutic process incorporates not only content but
also interpersonal relationships among characters.

Combining elements of talk, art, and narrative therapies with the process of personal filmmaking, therapeutic filmmaking represents a novel contribution to the field of psychology.

From the Therapeutic Filmmaking Pilot Study
• Feelings of Mastery: doing something "cool” leads them to think more highly
and feel better about themselves.• Perceptual Shift: through a camera's lens: different perspective
on themselves• The Personal as the Subject in Filmmaking: By turning the
camera on themselves: patients learned a lot about themselves
• Film as a Catalyst for Discussion: interaction between client and therapist by opening up dialogue about issues that clients could not easily talk about or put into words.

Sharing experiences through
Art Therapy
• enable a patient to effect change and growth on a personal level
• exploration of the patient's inner world
• help people communicate their thoughts and emotions

Schizophrenia has not been understood
or recognized and is mistreated and so its powerful symptoms manifest as
confusion and destruction.

towards controlling schizophrenia, rather than showing understanding towards a
patient's true needs and potential capabilities.

π (also known as Pi) is a 1998 American psychological thriller film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky. It is Aronofsky's directorial debut, and earned him the Directing Award at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay and the Gotham Open Palm Award.The title refers to the mathematical constant π (pi).
A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 American film based on the life of John Forbes Nash, Jr., a Nobel Laureate in Economics.[2] The film was directed by Ron Howard and written by Akiva Goldsman. It was inspired by a bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-nominated 1998 book of the same name by Sylvia Nasar. The film stars Russell Crowe, along with Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris, Christopher Plummer and Paul Bettany.The story begins in the early years of a young schizophrenic prodigy named John Nash. Early in the film, Nash begins developing paranoid schizophrenia and endures delusional episodes while painfully watching the loss and burden his condition brings on his wife and friends.
