Skip to Common Links Enter Search terms A-Z Index For Immediate Release: Oct. 28, 2010 Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA FDA approves Latuda to treat schizophrenia in adults The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Latuda (lurasidone HCl) tablets for the treatment of adults with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia affects about 1 percent of the U.S. population, ages 18 years and older, in a given year. The most prominent symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking and behavior, and suspiciousness. Hearing voices that other people don't hear is the most common type of hallucination. These experiences can make people with the disorder fearful and withdrawn. Latuda is included in the atypical antipsychotic class of drugs. All atypical antipsychotics contain a boxed warning alerting prescribers to an increased risk of death associated with off-label use of these drugs to treat behavioral problems in older people with dementia-related psychosis. No drug in this class is approved to treat patients with dementia-related psychosis.

Extractions: CLINICAL BRAIN DISORDERS BRANCH Homepage Who can participate? What do I have to do? ... How can I get involved? Schizophrenia is a complex brain disorder affecting thoughts and perceptions. This illness affects at least 1% of the population worldwide, regardless of race, economic condition, or geographic location. Families who have one member of the family ill with schizophrenia have a greater chance of developing this illness than families who have no relative with this illness. The scientists at the National Institute of Mental Health believe that environmental factors combined with genetic predisposition lead to the development of schizophrenia. The NIMH genetic studies focus on gathering families' genetic and environmental information to better understand what places one family member at risk and conversely, what protects other family members. To this end, family members are asked to participate in a number of procedures that help scientists measure various family characteristics to see if they run in families. Genotyping, or DNA analysis, is an important part of this process. However, families should understand that this is a very complex analysis and NIMH does not plan to provide family members with individual genetic test results. The scientists believe that future treatments and preventive methods will rely heavily on the findings of this developing study. It is for this reason that we ask families to participate. Hundreds of families are needed. The staff at NIMH invites you and your family to review this website and welcome you to call us for more information.

Extractions: Schizophrenia March 1999 WHAT IS SCHIZOPHRENIA? The term schizophrenia was first used in 1911 by Eugen Bleuler, a Swiss psychiatrist, to categorize patients whose thought processes and emotional responses seemed disconnected. The term schizophrenia literally means split mind and many people still believe incorrectly that the condition causes a split personality (which is an uncommon problem involving dissociation). Schizophrenia is now used to describe a cluster of symptoms that typically includes delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking, and emotional unresponsiveness. Several definitions of schizophrenia still exist and no single cause has been found to explain all aspects of this devastating syndrome. Most likely, the symptoms are triggered by a number of disease processes coupled with genetic factors and environmental stresses. HOW SERIOUS IS SCHIZOPHRENIA? Schizophrenia has a devastating effect on all aspects of human thought, emotion, and expression. The course of the disease varies from one patient to the next. Treatments do not cure the disease, but they can reduce symptoms significantly and reduce the relapse rate by more than 50%. Newer drugs may be improving this rate. Early treatment of schizophreniashortly after the first symptoms occurmay result in remission rates as high as 80% to 85%. Onset of schizophrenia is either gradual or sudden. The prognosis is slightly better for those whose symptoms come on suddenly. In up to a third of patients, the disease is unrelenting and progresses from the first episode onward. In others, schizophrenia follows a fluctuating course with psychotic flare-ups, followed by remissions. Women are more likely to have a remitting form and a better chance than men for a positive outcome, possibly because of estrogen's effects on the brain. Mental and social functioning each decline for a number of years. Memory is often impaired. After five to 10 years of deterioration, the illness tends to stabilize, and eventually some improvement may occur. Studies indicate that after 20 to 30 years, half of schizophrenic patients are capable of caring for themselves, working, and participating socially. Support services and appropriate housing improve this outcome.

MeSH Schizophrenia is the name for a number of mental illnesses . People with Schizophrenia have a different idea of what is real and what is not. This can cause problems with behaviour (the way people act), thinking, emotions and motivation. There are different forms of Schizophrenia. Most of them are linked to psychosis . People with schizophrenia are often thought to have 'lost touch with reality'. The word schizophrenia comes from the Greek words σχίζω (schizo, break) and φρενός (frenos, mind) and means "shattered mind". Psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin was the first person to separate schizophrenia from other types of mental illness. He called it 'dementia praecox', and it was later renamed 'schizophrenia' by the psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler. While people of many ages can have schizophrenia, most often it starts in early adulthood.

Extractions: Schizophrenia First, let's discuss what schizophrenia is not. People who have schizophrenia do NOT have multiple personalities. In 1911, Eugen Bleuler, first used the word "schizophrenia." Although the word schizophrenia does come from the Greek words meaning "split" and "mind," people with schizophrenia do not have split personalities. This misunderstanding has caused many people to misuse the term schizophrenia. The "split mind" refers to the way that people with schizophrenia are split off from reality; they cannot tell what is real and what is not real. Contents of this Page References Schizophrenia is one of the most common mental illnesses. About 1 of every 100 people (1% of the population) is affected by schizophrenia. This disorder is found throughout the world and in all races and cultures. Schizophrenia affects men and women in equal numbers, although on average, men appear to develop schizophrenia earlier than women. Generally, men show the first signs of schizophrenia in their mid 20s and women show the first signs in their late 20s. Schizophrenia has a tremendous cost to society, estimated at $32.5 billion per year in the US (statistic from Brain Facts, Society for Neuroscience, 2002).

Extractions: Time Warp On Science On Health On Defense ... Artcam Most times I say things like this, the response is "gee (well they do not actually say gee any more), thanks for the metaphysical session, but what are you saying"? Another way of saying all this is that schizophrenia is a group of illnesses with unknown causes that affects the brain. The changes in the brain (neuronal proteins, cell types) cause a wide range of symptoms that interfere with how we get along in life. The evidence of pathology in schizophrenia is both overwhelming and elusive. Without going into detail, brain areas that are responsible for emotions and thinking (frontal and limbic lobes) are altered. In some cases the hallucinations and delusions are severe enough that all of reality is distorted. If the thoughts are self-persecutory, the patient may try to protect him or herself and become aggressive with disruptive behaviors. For example, if the person thinks a family member is trying to poison him, he may strike out first (not unlike lots of governments, but reality is often indistinguishable from fantasy). Or if he thinks the devil has invaded a family member, he may take bizarre actions to save him. Needless to say these thoughts disrupt life and can at times be dangerous to self or others. These types of psychosis are common in schizophrenia; fortunately only rarely do they lead to violence. Over reacting only worsens the situation by isolating family from the loved one.

Extractions: There is good cause for optimism for psychosis and schizophenia though. The atypical medications are more effective with fewer side effects. There is growing recognition of the value of early intervention and relapse prevention. The public is developing a much greater interest in schizophrenia and positive movies like "A Beautiful Mind", were quite popular in their time. These three trends promise a far less destructive psychosis experience then what I had to suffer. Psychosis is a serious health event. You should only have a first episode, if that. The causes though are still unknown and the causes of my experiences appear to be somewhat atypical. The opinions I am sharing on my website are only mine alone and offer an insight to the experiences of schizophrenia. This is what I have been able to learn about schizophrenia because of its impact on my life. Understand that I will continue to have schizophrenia for the duration of my life.

Extractions: National Institutes of Health Home About MedlinePlus ... Contact Us Search MedlinePlus Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations. Schizophrenia is a complex illness. Even experts in the field are not sure what causes it. Genetic factors appear to play a role. People who have family members with schizophrenia may be more likely to get the illness themselves. Some researchers believe that environmental events may trigger schizophrenia in people who are already genetically at risk for the disorder. For example, infection during development in the mother's womb or stressful psychological experiences may increase the risk for developing schizophrenia later in life. Social and family support appears to improve the illness. Schizophrenia affects about 1% of people worldwide. It occurs equally among men and women, but in women it tends to begin later and be milder. For this reason, males tend to account for more than half of patients in services with high numbers of young adults. Although schizophrenia usually begins in young adulthood, there are cases in which the disorder begins later (over age 45). Childhood-onset schizophrenia begins after age 5 and, in most cases, after normal development. Childhood schizophrenia is rare and can be difficult to tell apart from other developmental disorders of childhood, such as
