CHAPTER 1
The Problem and Its Setting
Introduction
The problem focuses in interacting with patients that are mentally-ill, the proper ways on
handling and providing proper care they need. We know that this kind of patients are very
unpredictable, they can be dangerous in ways that will result to injuries on the health provider.
Schizophrenia is a mental illness. The first acute episode can be a devastating experience,
particularly as both the person experiencing the illness and those close to him will be
unprepared1. About one in a hundred people world-wide experience at least one such episode at
some time during their lives, although the highest incidence is in the late teens and early 20's.
About a quarter of people who develop schizophrenia recover within five years. Approximately
two-thirds of those who develop the condition experience fluctuating symptoms over many
years. About ten to fifteen percent experience severe long term incapacity. In about one quarter
of cases there is eventually a full recovery. The majority will have long periods of good
functioning, with occasional problems. The recent discovery of new forms of treatment may lead
to further improvement in rates of recovery, particularly if everyone involved, for instance, both
the person with schizophrenia and their family, learns to understand how to cope2.
In schizophrenia the activity of chemical messengers at certain nerve endings in the brain
is unusual and this may be a clue to the causes of the disorder. During what is sometimes

Chapter 3
Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation
Summary
This Chapter presents the findings of the study, the conclusion based on the data gathered
and the recommendation that may be valuable to future reference.
Epidemiological and biological data strongly suggest an integral relationship between
OCD and schizophrenia in the comorbid subgroup of patients. The epidemiological data strongly
suggest a unique relationship between these 2 disorders, given the marked degree of comorbidity
that has been consistently observed and which appears to represent more than just a spurious
association. Although pedigree and genetic studies of this overlap group are limited, preliminary
findings suggest intriguing genetic influences on comorbid symptom expression.
The neurobiological data on each disorder suggest the involvement of common brain regions and
neurotransmitter systems. However, more neuroimaging studies in the overlap group are required
to determine whether specific structural abnormalities unique to this putative subtype are present
Neuropsychological testing has generally revealed more severe impairment among patients in
this comorbid group, which suggests a specific and active interaction between these 2 disease
processes, but it has not identified a unique pattern of impairment.
