Though sounds weird but acnes can very much be the cause of depression and mental disorder. Acne Dysmorphia has little to do with skin trouble but more to take the shape of a mental disease. An unnecessary thought that your skin is bad and dull will make you feel low and thereby you will develop the complexity that you are suffering from skin disease. You will constantly remain obsessed about your skin even if there is no sign of acne on it.
A psycho problem
Acne Dysmorphia is predominantly a psychological problem. But how can it happen to someone who is not suffering from acnes anyway? To derive a logical answer is quite difficult but it has been found out that those typically suffering from this mental disorder at some point of the lifetime had suffered acutely from acnes.
The pain and fear of the suffering somehow had affected the subconscious mind and in the long run the person gradually loses faith on the fact that he or she has been cured. The pangs of sufferings repeatedly provoke the person that acnes are still there on the skin and giving an ugly shape to it. This develops a negative personality and the person becomes very irritated at small things. Losing confidence in such a situation is a common plight.
Obsessed with negative beliefs
Acne Dysmorphia will repeatedly make you feel insignificant and worthless because your skin is dark, dull and full of scars. You may consider it very funny but the patients of acne dysmorphia will never take the initiative to visit the doctor and find out what the real trouble is. This clearly indicates that the patients are actually aware that there is no acne on the body and it is their mere belief that they love to tame. Hence the problem is nothing else but a psychological disease.
Positive thinking is must
The major problem in treating these patients is that they will not try to think in a straightforward and positive manner. On one hand they will create their own world where they will love to feel that they are suffering from acnes. On the other they will never agree to the fact they the problem is not physical but very much psychological.
These patients can be cured through psychological counseling and cognitive therapies to change behavioral pattern. If you have someone like this at home, immediately rush to a psychiatrist or a psychological counselor instead of a dermatologist.
A person experiencing untreated schizophrenia is typically characterized as demonstrating disorganized thinking, and as experiencing delusions or auditory hallucinations. Although the disorder is primarily thought to affect cognition, it can also contribute to chronic problems with behavior and emotion. Due to the many possible combinations of symptoms, there is ongoing and heated debate about whether the diagnosis necessarily or adequately describes a disorder, or alternatively whether it might represent a number of disorders. For this reason, Eugen Bleuler deliberately called the disease "the schizophrenias", plural, when he coined the present name.
Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception or expression of reality and by significant social or occupational dysfunction.
Diagnosis is based on the self-reported experiences of the patient, in combination with secondary signs observed by a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist or other competent clinician. There is no objective biological test for schizophrenia, though studies suggest that genetics, neurobiology and social environment are important contributing factors.
Current research into the development of the disorder often focuses on the role of neurobiology, although a reliable and identifiable organic cause has not been found. In the absence of objective laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis, some question the legitimacy of schizophrenia's status as a disease.
The term "schizophrenia" translates roughly as "shattered mind," and comes from the Greek σχίζω (schizo, "to split" or "to divide") and φρήν (phrēn, "mind"). Despite its etymology, schizophrenia is not synonymous with dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder or "split personality"; in popular culture the two are often confused. Although schizophrenia often leads to social or occupational dysfunction, there is little association of the illness with a predisposition toward aggressive behavior.
Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia are highly likely to be diagnosed with other disorders. The lifetime prevalence of substance abuse disorders is typically around 40%. Co-morbidity is also high with clinical depression, anxiety disorders, social problems, and a generally decreased life expectancy is also present. Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia typically live 10-12 years less than their healthy counter-parts, owing to increased physical health problems and a large suicide rate.
