Have you ever wondered what it is like to live with a mental illness? \"The Split Mind\" enters into the psyche of a person with paranoid schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is an illness that is marked by delusions and disturbed thought. The patient's state of mind will usually remain in a highly irrational or illusionary state. The patient then loses his sense of the real world, in favour of a world that is based purely on false beliefs. This illness inevitably splits the patient's focus out of the real world, into a world based on falsehoods and unattested thoughts.\u003cbr\u003eAccording to researchers, schizophrenia is caused by a chemical imbalance. In effect, there are abnormal levels of different neurotransmitters within the patient's brain. Dopamine may be a key neurotransmitter behind delusional thoughts.\u003cbr\u003eThis chemical imbalance can be corrected through medications or other varying methods. Nevertheless, scientists, as of yet, have not discovered a permanent cure. The recovery process for the patient will usually be slow because he must take certain steps to ensure that a relapse will never occur.\u003cbr\u003eAs an illness, schizophrenia may be no different from any other disease. It is a disease that affects the human brain. No patients develop schizophrenia because of any psychological or behavioural problems. It is a genetic disease that is highly treatable, and through perseverance, highly recoverable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Alan Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789183197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789183191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nottingham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.74d","brand":"Kevin Alan Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175727804671,"sku":"9781789183191","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80ccce5d-a44a-48dc-b27a-32d7f1883fa6.jpg?v=1771335533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-split-mind-kevin-alan-lee-9781789183191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
